"The Storm" by Kate Chopin uses nature and the storm to edify her theme of adultery. The growing storm outside parallels Calixta's restless sexual passion trapped within. Alcee is forced to take refuge from the passing storm in Calixta's house and while he is there the two make love while Calixta's husband and son wait out the storm at the local store. Chopin implies the theme that is; adultery can be good and not result in negative consequences. Throughout the story constant subtle comparisons are made between the actual storm outside and the storm from within. Thefirst reference is when we are told that Calixta "was greatly occupied and did not notice the approaching storm". This could also be implying that she felt comfortable with her life style, such that it was, and did not suspect that anything was wrong. As we go on we are told that "Alcee Laballiere rode in at the gate". "She had not seen him very often since her marriage, and never alone…and the big rain drops began to fall." The big raindrops could also be construed as tears as a result of true feelings being expressed.
Throughout the whole story, the characters Alcee, Bobinot, Calixta, Bibi, and Clarisse all without knowing it, symbolize different parts of the storm. The beginning line states "the leaves were so still that even Bibi thought it was going to rain." Still leaves may represent the still, uninterrupted lifestyle and marriage of Bobinot and Calixta. And the "somber clouds were rolling with sinister attention from the West," symbolize also the events to happen later in the story between Alcee and Calixta. Bobinot's purchasing the can of shrimp in paragraph five gives the reader a sense that he loves Calixta and thinks of her even while him and Bibi are away because she is "very fond of them." Later, the storm started to stir and the thunderous roar swept through the

The storm begins and Calcite’s family is separated. In a classical novel beginning, danger lurks from that old titan, Mother Nature herself. The man of the house, Bonito, is away from home and can’t protect his wife. Readers are given the impression that a woman is alone and possibly in danger back at the ranch. Calcite’s old lover arrives at her house just in time to be trapped there by the storm. It would be one thing if Calcite had to wait out the storm alone in the big house, worrying about her husband and small son being in danger out in the storm.

But she’s not alone: as soon as the storm starts, a handsome guy moms to the picture a guy she has a history with. That’s a complication waiting to happen!. Calcite and Alice are reminded of their past flirtation. As we were just saying, this conflict is a complicated one. First Alice shows up and keeps Calcite from being alone. While it’s technically K for them to be alone together from a societal standpoint (they’re both married, and it’s a cyclone), it’s pretty clear they both feel a little weird about it.

That weirdness is compounded when they start having flashbacks to the more physical interludes they had in the past. Once they start remembering their attraction to another, it’s a slippery lope to acting on that attraction again. Calcite and Alice have sex. We realize that putting this scene in this category is a bad pun waiting to happen. It’s impossible to avoid, though, since this is the most exciting part of the story, the part where the characters are either approaching or coming down from their high point.

Both the story and the characters reach their high points at the same time here. It’s rare that this element of the plot is played out so literally in fiction, but it happens from time to time. Calcite’s family returns home just after Alice leaves. Here we wait with bated breath. Will Bibb and Bonito get home before Alice leaves? Will they cross paths? Will Calcite be able to cover up what has just happened? For his part, Bonito worries over whether Calcite will be angry with them when they return home.

It’s a state of worry about a possible set of repercussions or punishment – but it all turns out to be just fine. Alice writes to his wife and tells her she doesn’t need to rush home. Here we see the aftereffects of the previous scenes, as Alice reacts to his affair by telling his wife that she can stay away longer on her vacation. While he presents his request as a favor he’s making on her behalf and as proof of his love for her, we readers know see’s doing it not because he’s selfless, but because he just got laid.
