Abstract：Alice Munros Southern Ontario Gothic features both the gothic novels and the Canadian regional literature from South Ontario. Some of her Southern Ontario Gothic novels portray the tragic fate of women and animals, who are objectified and treated as mere things by men in order to exhibit male superiority. Others depict womens journey into wilderness as a way to challenge patriarchal tradition and achieve selffulfillment. Munro blends her female characters into the gothic nature, so as to reveal the harm done to women and nature by dualism and patriarchalism on one hand, and reflect her care about womens fate and environment on the other.
