“The Storm” was a complex short story about temptation and relationships. I am not sure that I would read another story by Chopin because her writing style lacked detail and was confusing at times. I found that I had to read the story twice to fully understand the connection between all of the characters. However I was intrigued by the significance of the storm. I found it interesting that the storm was the base of the whole story as it shows that Mother Nature can have a powerful impact on people’s emotions. The storm separated Alcee from her family brought back what appeared to be an old lust into her life, but once the storm passed she was back with her family as if Calixta was never with her. This story reminds me of the movie Unfaithful because the wife in the story gives in to a temptation just as Calixta does. Unfaithful Movie Trailer.
This picture below makes me think of this story because although this girl is trapped outside and Calixta was inside safe from the storm, they are both escaping reality.
