An Analysis of Alice Munro’s Short Story “Runaway” from the Perspective of Eco-feminism 

摘要

爱丽丝·门罗是加拿大著名女作家，被誉为“加拿大的契科夫”， 获得了2013年诺贝尔奖文学奖。本文以其代表作《逃离》为研究对象，通过生态女性主义理论分析文中的女性卡拉以及女房东西尔维亚与文中的动物（山羊）弗洛拉的意象，从女性和自然之间的关系更加亲密以及女性和自然都受到男性的压迫两方面来探讨爱丽丝·门罗本篇故事中蕴含的生态女性主义思想。本文旨在通过卡拉逃离失败最终沦为男权社会的维护者的故事来激发女性的独立意识，推动两性间的平等,以及促进人与自然的和谐发展。

Abstract

As one of the most famous Canadian women writers, Alice Munro is called “Chekhov in Canada” and won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2013. Taking her representative work “Runaway” as the research object, this thesis studies the image of Carla, Sylvia and the goat Flora from the perspective of ecological feminism in this short story in two different ways. On the one hand, woman and nature have a more intimate relationship; on the other hand, woman and nature are all oppressed by man. Carla fails to run away and has become a defender of the patriarchal society. The thesis aims to inspire women's consciousness of independence, develop the equality between the two sexes, and promote harmony between human and nature.
