Storms of Life

The Storms of Life Kate Chopin, the author of “The Storm”, describes how real storms symbolize the storms in our lives. Like a storm, the main character Calixta is quiet, calm, and unthreatening to man. But as her passion and the storm began to brew, they became electric and powerful. In Chopin’s time it was rarely acknowledged that women had any sexual desires at all. Women were innocent when it came to this matter. …

…both happier than before. Bobinot and Bibi “began to relax and enjoy themselves”, when they sat down for dinner (Chopin 158). They were both happy knowing Calixta was happy. Clarisse was happy to get a loving letter from her husband and to find out she could stay in Biloxi a while longer. Every character in the story lives were fulfilled and they were all much happier after the storm had passed and the affair was forgotten.
