Questions for the short story "Once Upon a Time by Nadine Gordimer
The short story "Once Upon a Time" is set in South Africa during Apartheid and is rich with irony. There are several different examples of irony within the story. The author's writing style adds a further element of irony, as it is written in the style of a fairy tale. These questions have students pull out examples of irony in the story, as well as examine setting and plot. I highly recommend using this story, especially for teaching irony.
