Since Feminism is an overly broad term, the story can be seen of a particular type of feminism; namely, socialist feminism. Socialist feminism believes that in a patriarchal society, man gains control over women by virtue of his ability to control the capital; his ability to work and provide the family with its needs. In Munro's narrative, this is presented through the fact that Doree married Lloyd after her mother's death. She was so naive and she needed someone to take her in and look after her, that is how she became submissive; because she did not have the power to stand for herself and be independent.
