Abstract

The article is devoted to symbolism of an animalistic image (the goat Flora) in the short story «Runaway» by Alice Munro. We come to the conclusion that Carla can be compared with Flora (they are both tamed by Clark), Flora is «the goat from outer space», and the goat is the symbol of temptation. A. Munro creates symbolism and her stories revel physiological and gender problems.
