Abstract

This paper is a new comparison of short stories of Munro and of Chekhov regarding motif of woman including her role, self-recognition, her complementary role, her searching for true identity and also her struggles, trials and errors on the way of gaining self-development. This research follows the method of American school of comparative literature based on thematology. Not one other research has been done in this new aspect of the authors’ stories as most of the critics compared both authors’ works based on their styles and not on their themes and motifs. This article concludes in comparing and contrasting of the stories and the fact that in all the stories there is a sense of lack on the part of the female character that leads to her quest for identity and also her struggles.
