Resumo
Femininity is a constant leitmotiv in the narrative work of the Canadian writer Alice Munro and the female body an essential metaphor in her short stories, which permits her not only to express a part of the contemporanean Canadian society, but also, and in the form of subtext, to offer an innovative, individual and personal contribution on women’s situation moving away from the traditional patriarchal model. Munro’s female protagonists wish to achieve freedom in their movements and actions with the male other. However, the metamorphosis suffered in the body with the passing of time transforms this freedom in psychological prison. To expose these ideas we have applied the theories of Foucault about sexuality and power.
