Abstract As the winner of the 2013 Nobel prize in literature, Alice Munro quickly steps on the stage of the popular literature. Her short stories feature exquisite composition, unique method of narrative, precise diction, forming a unique “Munro style”. Thus, she is known as “our Chekhov”. Passion is one of the novels in Munro’s short novel collection “Runaway”. It’s a romantic tragedy caused by a rural girl Grace who are in harmonious relationship with her fiance Maury’s family but choose to elope with Maury’s brother Neil at the family party on Thanksgiving Day. The paper will analyze the concept of marriage and love of Grace and contrast hers with that of the others characters in the novel.  

By presenting the difficulties that women try to get rid of the depressed state and seek for free lifestyle in love, marriage and family, the paper will explore multilevel reasons. The thesis’s purpose is to study on contemporary Canadian women’s marriage and the changes of the consciousness of female liberation, revealing the history problems hidden in the novel and increasing the domestic research on Alice Munro’s novels.The study of Alice Munro’s novel is an up-to-date trend; The thesis is strongly targeted as it focus on one novel in a novel collection which shares the same theme.
