Abstract
Alice Munro, the 2013 Nobel Prize winner, is widely regarded as the master of the contemporary short-story writer. The eight short stories in Runaway the book discloses the preoccupations of figures who must remain satisfied with momentary illumination rather than life-changing revelations. Munro scholars at home and abroad have mainly focused on Southern Ontario Gothic or feminism in Runaway. The eco-feminist elements in it have been touched upon. However, what is neglected in their analysis of Munro’s Eco-feminist awareness is the reconstruction of ecological harmony beneath the conflicts between woman and nature, society, men, and self hidden in the collection. Therefore, based on Eco-feminism, this thesis attempts to explore the text from two perspectives: the imbalance between women and nature, society, men, and self; the construction of ecological harmony between woman and nature, society, men, and self. The Eco-feminist interpretation of the text will enrich the study of this innovative book.
