Abstract—Alice Munro creates many "runaway women" in
her highly acclaimed book Runaway, but the strong-willed
heroine in the fifth story "Passion" is the character who should
be given special attention to. Based on the feminist theory, the
author tries to explore the heroine's identity crisis and her
choice of running away. From the construction process of
women's subjectivity in this story, the messages concerning
true selves of women are conveyed.
Index Terms—Alice Munro, “Passion”, feminism,
subjectivity.
