My blog on Kate Chopin's "The Storm"

This storm was two storms in rolled up in one.  The physical storm of the wind, rain and clapping thunder and also the flesh arousing in the storm of adulterous temptation when two people that were once in a relationship find themselves alone together. It creates, as always, one big no-no.  It doesn’t matter how innocent it may start out or how much each one tries to convince themselves that they are in control of the situation while within themselves the storm of lust is raging on just as bad as the weather’s storm outside.

Truly two old flames flickering and tiptoe dancing around each other, alone together and all it takes is one spark to ignite into a huge fire storm. The storm could have caused so much danger that could have had a domino effect and destroy everything in its path.   Imagine two storms raging at the same time, that's double for the trouble one finds them self in, pretty scary.

It is sickening to know and realize how easy a storm can hit and destroy so many lives at once whether it is a weather’s physical storm or, like in this story, the storm of lust.  People should not chance either kind of storm like M'sieur Alcee and Calixta had done in this story.  It was treading upon dangerous territory.
