What are the two upsetting events in Fiela se kind

If Fiela has a flaw, it is that of pride, as we see in the way she resists admitting to Petrus—someone who could potentially help her—that Benjamin was taken. Perhaps in reaction to the unfair prejudices towards black people at this time, Fiela seeks to prove that she and her family are utterly capable, yet this often comes at the expense of pushing out support when it's most needed. Still, Fiela's fierce loyalty to her family and her perseverance when it comes to getting back Benjamin demonstrate a strong feminine leadership that is continually contrasted with the tyrannical presence of Elias van Rooyen. Just like the mother elephant who seeks revenge on Elias for killing her baby, Fiela will stop at nothing to confront the injustice done towards her child.
