Abstract
The article touches upon the Canadian writer Alice Munro’s story features, where the author refers to the importance of the women’s role in the society, their psychological problems and ontological struggle. Munro gives unique solutions and alternative outputs through which her heroes and characters are able to cope with difficulties and live in their time-lost domain. Her characters have difficulty in blending in and adapting to the present as the past dominates in their spirit and folds of consciousness. Munro’s works clarify and demonstrate the complexities of human feelings and their expression in different societies and levels of consciousness. This is the reason why Munro never loses her relevance and her works are read at different ages. The centre of Alice Munro’s stories is the woman with her inner world, her feelings and the struggle for her spiritual freedom. The author’s works are distinguished by their deep psychological problems, revelations of the complex inner world of an individual, studies of the human psyche. In her works Munro emphasizes the psychological aspect, where the woman’s mental inner world and feelings are observed. She thoroughly tries to describe every action and feeling of a woman. The author tries to bring up the very above-mentioned issues giving them unexpected and unimaginable solutions.
