Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The theme of this story is that not everyone gets a happily ever after. We continue to go through trials and tribulations that test us and how grounded we are. There is no one moment which leads to peace afterwards. The wise old witch in “Once Upon a Time” symbolizes the folly of apartheid. Although she's supposed to be wise, her gift of extra bricks to improve the personal security of her son and his family makes a bad situation worse
