The Storm By Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin is writing so many great stories about whatever she sees. Kate has many Wonderful stories such as, (The Storm, Desiree’s Baby, A Pair of Silk Stocking, A Respectable Woman, and The Story of an Hour). There is one story in particular that catches my mind which is “The Storm”. 0In Kate chopin's era, women are seen as nothing more than a wife and have to stay with their husband for life. Chopin shows a dramatic scene between Alcee and Calixta during the time of a storm that is passing by

like writers in present day, Kate Chopin was a writer who wrote to reflect obstacles and instances occurring within her time period. Writing about personal obstacles, as well as issues occurring in the time period she lived, Chopin proved to be distinctive upon using her virtue. Kate Chopin was a determined individual, with true ambition and ability to produce writings that reflected women on a higher pedestal than they were valued in her time. “The Storm” by Kate Chopin is a short story written to

The first thing I noticed about Kate Chopin’s “The Storm,” is that it is utterly dripping with sexual imagery and symbolism. Our heroine, if you will, seems to be a woman with normally restrained passions and a well-defined sense of propriety, who finds herself in a situation that tears down her restraint and reveals the vixen within. I wonder if it was intentional that the name Calixta makes me think of Calypso – the nymph from Greek mythology. If half of the sexual symbolism I found in this

main character, Calixta, is interrelated with the setting of the story, “The Storm” by Kate Chopin. In “The Storm”, setting plays the role as a catalyst that ignites Alcee’s and Calixta’s passion that then runs parallel with the storm. As their relationship builds together, Calixta’s natural desires become fulfilled; which without an outlet on the ability to express our emotions and natural desires, conflicts and storms result in our lives. In the beginning of the story, Calixta is very much into

The three most prominent literary elements that were addressed in “The Storm” were foreshadowing, symbolism, and setting. First, there is foreshadowing in the story.

Kate Chopin writes a short story named “The storm.” The plot of the story where the author shows two married couples, a total of five people and two of them have an affair. We can see a woman who is a mother, a lover and a wife and her different reaction while performing each one of the different roles. After the storm the characters seem to reveal hidden aspects of them. The story begins when Bobinot and his son Bibi are at Fregheimer’s store and decide to stay there due to a storm that is coming

I also disagreed with “The Storm” by Kate Chopin, because it suggested that it is possible to be with more than one person at any given point. To me, love is trust, and without trust, love is nonexistent. Marriage is a commitment, a promise to be both trusting and trustful. To betray that agreement is not to love. Calixata expresses “nothing but satisfaction at their safe return” (727) and this reader has to wonder how she cannot feel guilt. Alcee wrote a “loving letter” to his wife, and this reader

Hour” and “The Storm”, Kate Chopin displays the views of marriage. Chopin feels that marriage doesn’t mean happiness for a lot of females; mostly because they were forced to get married and was a societal norm back then. In “The storm”, Kate Chopin not only described Calixta as a woman who commits adultery but she also states that she really enjoys it.

Kate Chopin was an American author who wrote the short story “The Storm”. It takes place somewhere down in Louisiana at a general store and at the house of Calixta, Bobinot who is the wife of Calixta, and their son Bibi. The other character in the story is the friend of Calixta, Alcee Laballiere. The story begins with Bobinot and Bibi in the general store to buy a can of shrimp; meanwhile, at home, Calixta is at home doing chores when a storm develops, which makes her worry about Bobinot and Bibi

The author Kate Chopin provides the perfect situation for them to experience passionate love making with the person they wanted but couldn’t have in other circumstances. It’s as if it was external forces were at work and it was meant to be. The pairs intention wasn’t to have an amoral affair and Chopin shows this in the story when she wrote “he expressed
