How does the author use juxtaposition in the story, The Albanian Virgin?

Munro uses juxtaposition in the stories of two women "travelling alone" in the world to reflect her ongoing fascination with individuals who move beyond the borders of traditional roles and cultural expectations. Both Claire, who "disrupts" the apparent stability of her suburban life, and Lottar, who travels to Europe without a "suitable" companion, are independent women trying to situate themselves in relation to the powerful cultural forces shaping the worlds in which they live. For both, these personal quests are undertaken at a significant cost.
