"The Storm"

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses the short story, "The Storm" by Kate Chopin. According to the paper, Chopin's unique ability to create stories that bring romance, forceful passion and real-world sensual action into the reader's consciousness rises above the work of many other celebrated writers.

From the Paper:

"Shortly after leaving the scene of his carnal episode, Alcee looked back at Calixta from his horse and smiles "with a beaming face" - and she "laughs aloud" with her pretty chin proudly lifted in the air. One assumes this was guiltless and hence, faultless; it was just a moment's dive into a natural human desire, while the natural world pounded away outside. And the irony here is that when the two males arrive, Bobinot "prepares for the worst..." (115); he tries hard to remove the mud from legs and feet of he and his son. Mom won't like the men folk bringing mud into her clean house. She is an "overscrupulous housewife" when it comes to housekeeping, but obviously not too scrupulous when it comes to her morality. "
