Alice Munro(1931-)is a famous Canadian contemporary short story writer,who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2013.She is known as the "master of contemporary short story" by the Swedish academy.She constructs a unique female literature space through her unique female perspective and exquisite brushwork.In her creation,women,families and neighbors in ordinary suburban towns become the objects of her writings.The characters in the stories are not different from those in real life.However,behind the ordinary materials,serious topics such as humanity and morality are depicted with thick and heavy colours.The collision between ordinary and profundity can always give readers the shock of "hearing thunder in silence".As a housewife writer,Alice Monroe can delicately and sensitively perceive the dilemma of women's life in real life and present it in her storys.She tries to arouse women's sympathy and find a way out of the predicament.This paper chooses Alice Monroe's representative storys as the main research object.By means of close reading of the text,it classifies and deeply analyses the predicament of women's life in Monroe's storys,and strives to show the multidimensional predicament of women's life in the text.This paper is divided into five parts,in the introduction,the research origin,current research situation,research methods and ideas are summarized.The first chapter,through a close reading of the text of Munro's storys,based on the reality of women's life presented in the text,classifies women's life dilemmas into three categories,cognitive dilemma,emotional dilemma,moral dilemma.The second chapter discusses the reasons for the writing of women's life dilemma.As a housewife writer,Monro's life experience is reflected in her works with an autobiographic nature.In addition,the exploration of women's rights and colonial cultural characteristics in Canadian historical and cultural experience also had a profound influence on Monroe's writing on women's life difficulties.The third chapter studies the artistic construction of women's life dilemma in Munro's works.Monro selects daily stories in the content,describes the details of life carefully,and reveals the truth of life and the subtle of human nature.In narration,Monroe directly cuts into the inner secrets of women from the perspective of women,breakes the linear plot structure,and pieces together the most authentic survival and life experience of women with plot fragments.Chapter four explores the value of writing women's life dilemmas in munro's works.On the one hand,by presenting women's life dilemmas,munro guides women to reflect on themselves and explore solutions,which is of practical significance.On the other hand,her creative exploration has broadened the vision of the literary world,and has an enlightening significance for later writers to create female images and write short stories with rich connotations.The epilogue summarizes and sublimates the content of the whole paper in order to clarify the research value of this paper as a whole.
