Kate Chopin's 'The Storm'

Kate Chopin’s The Storm Have you ever wanted to be with someone but it was never the right timing, but you ran into them later in life and the two of you were all alone and it was the perfect place and the perfect time. What would you do? In the story by Kate Chopin The Storm it talks about the two storms that takes place: one storm being the storm from the physical weather outside the house and the second storm, which is inside the house with two people that were married that had a thing for each other. The physical storm ran parallel with to the emotion storm with of Calixta and Alcee Labellire. At the beginning of the story the weather began to create some clouds moving to the west followed by the threatening roar of thunder, which began to get bad. The storm had not began yet but you can tell it was on it ways. As with Calixta as she began to have her own internal
storm by her feeling very warm and perspiration.
The part two talks about how Alcee rode in town as the storm did. Another parallel is that it had been year since the town has had a storm like that just like it had been a few years that Alcee and Calixta had seen each other. As the rain began to fall, Alcee began to ride his horse closer to Calixtra As the storm began to build on the outside with the wind and the rain the storm began to build on the inside with Alcee and Calixtra kissing and loving each other. Part three talks about how the storm had pass and the sun came out and Alcee rode away. As the weather went back to normal their lives went back to normal. In the closing Chopin states, “ The storm passed and every one was happy “meaning everything carried on like before as if nothing had happened at all. The storm help to create the atmosphere by the weather being dangerous it cause Calixta and
Alcee to be stuck inside alone with nothing to do but admire each other as they once did in their pass. I would characterize the atmosphere as the perfect setting for the two of them to be alone to express their feeling. It was the right time and the right place for the both of them. Beside the storm the other aspects that are important is that both Alcee and Calixta belong to someone else. They both were happily married. Beside the actually storm the title suggest the passionate storm between Calixta and Alcee. I agree with the critic Donald Larson that the end of the story ‘So the storm passed and everyone was happy” stated in the storm by Chopin is audacious like it was the normal and the just thing to do as if there were no punishments that need to be made as well as some should of had to apologize for them having a one-night stand. It was almost like Chopin was saying it didn’t matter what happened. It seems like the relationship between Calixta and Alcee would continue with Alcee telling his wife to take her time coming home. Maybe they are waiting another five years for the perfect opportunity and the perfect storm.
In the story by Kate Chopin The Storm it talks about the two storms and the two lovebirds. Always be prepared for the unexpected and always do the right thing because every story like this does end with everyone being happy
