Abstract:	艾莉絲．孟若於2013年榮獲諾貝爾文學獎，她的作品以反映社會現實面的當代短篇小說聞名，而〈深洞〉就是其中之一。此篇短篇小說收錄於2009年所出版的《幸福過了頭》，以二十一世紀的性別不平等為主軸。孟若以精湛的手法描繪女主角莎莉如何在父權體制下扮演好妻子與母親的角色。然而，雖然短篇小說的重要性已被世人所注意，但關於短篇小說的領域仍未被廣泛地研究。〈深洞〉就是其中一個經典的例子：即便有幾位學者著手研究故事裡的親子關係，卻沒有人能真正地從女性主義的角度切入討論。本篇論文旨在運用女性主義的角度分析莎莉為何被丈夫艾力克斯貶低為無價值的妻子以及為何被兒子肯特視為無影響力的母親。 Alice Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013; her works are famous for her contemporary short stories on the issues of social reality: “Deep-Holes” is one of them. This short fiction is published in Too Much Happiness in 2009, centering around the theme of gender discrepancy in the twenty-first century. Munro does a remarkable job of delineating the female protagonist Sally’s roles as a wife and a mother in a patriarchal society. However, although the importance of short fiction has been noticed by people, the field of short story has not been widely researched. “Deep-Holes” is a classic example: even if several scholars conduct research on the parent-child relationship in the story, none of them really discuss it from the feminist perspective. This thesis employs a feminist approach to dissecting Sally’s roles as a devalued wife to her husband Alex and a nonpowerful mother to her son Kent.
