Though it's been some years since I read Gordimer's story, I found it a powerful one. A servant woman, working for a young white couple in South Africa is suspected of having killed her baby right after it was born, having no way to look after it (whether she actually did so or not is ambiguous, but the authorities think her guilty, and she is carried off, presumably to be punished. At the same time, the white couple, who have been looking forward to a trip to Europe for some years, discover that she is pregnant; rather than let it interfere with the trip, she has an abortion, and off they go to Rome, Paris, or wherever else their travels might take them.
Gordimer handles the story with great subtlety -- so subtly that when I taught the story, I found that some students missed the abortion entirely.Gordimer passes no direct judgments in her own writing, and casts no stones. Rather she leaves it up to the reader to answer the central question: what, precisely, is the moral difference, if any, between the two women on whom the story is centered, and the ways in which they handle their unwanted (or at least inconvenient) pregnancies.

What is the point of view in the story six feet of the country?
In "Six Feet of the Country" by Nadine Gordimer, the point of view is primarily first-person, narrated by a white South African farmer. This perspective allows readers to gain insight into the narrator's thoughts and biases, reflecting the complexities of post-apartheid South Africa. The use of first-person narration also highlights the personal and emotional conflicts surrounding issues of race, privilege, and moral responsibility in a changing society.

A diffused point event refers to a phenomenon that occurs over a broad area or region, affecting multiple locations simultaneously rather than being concentrated at a specific point. In contrast, a displaced point event is characterized by a specific occurrence that is geographically relocated from its original location, often due to external factors or changes in context. Both concepts are useful in fields like geography and event analysis to describe the spatial characteristics of various events.
