Analyzing Kate Chopin's 'The Storm'

Decent Essays
Brianna, I really enjoyed reading your rough draft of The Storm. I liked how you explained the story first and provided quotes from the story before you analyzed. This story challenges all of the traditional roles all of the characters play. Calixta pushes the norms of traditional marriage, while still maintaining the role of a housewife. I agree with you that this story deals with a lot of emotions, especially ones that are unusual to have in society. It is very unusual that a wife becomes more satisfied in her marriage when she has relations with another man. Is this because her needs are met by Alcee? Is Clarisse’s response to Alcee’s letter proving that she is independent from her husband, which is untraditional. I noticed that you disagree

    While it certainly is “strange and fantastic” to be living in a feminist movement and simultaneously be reading a novella about female liberation, there is definitely more to say in regards to the feminist agenda of this novella. Showalter does an interesting job in trying to tie in history with her-story provide background to the context of the novella. However, in trying to provide history, she veers away from the text itself and also veers away from conclusive close-ended explanations and parallels. Showalter’s feminist criticism approach is well-suited, however, I think she could have done more to better justify and cohere her argument. First of all, I have an issue with the structure and how Showalter goes about exemplifying various points…

    Even though the readers originally neglected The Awakening and The Storm for their not so naïve content, these writings are, after all, a genuine portrayal of women and their sexual awakening, true portrayal of their emotional and intellectual traits. Both stories take place in Louisiana, and seems like it was the environment of Louisiana that contributed to her imagination and her development as a writer. With her vivid local descriptions and beautiful imagery, Kate Chopin provokes and inspires our thoughts to seek for more. She was one step further from her generation and she knew that her writings are too controversial for them.…

    In “The Storm” Kate Chopin introduces Calixta, her family, and her soon to be lover, Sir Alcee Laballiere. Calixta does not notice the upcoming storm at first, along with Sir Alcee as he rides on his horse towards her gallery, but they both approach her quietly and eventually catch her off guard.

    Since this story was written and set in the late nineteenth century the ideals for women were pretty set in stone. Women were often seen in the traditional, domestic position. Initially, Calixta is in her home doing what is made to be womanly duties. “She sat at a side window furiously sewing on a sewing machine,” is an example of how she was set into this role as a wife and mother. Yet on the other hand, "The Storm" demonstrates two very similar yet different wives and mothers.…

    A parent’s most important goal should be the happiness of his or her child. Armand Aubingy’s parents, in “Désirée’s Baby” by Kate Chopin, are the perfect example of how far one’s mother and father should be willing to go to achieve the ultimate level of happiness for their child. On the other hand, Armand is the perfect example of how a parent’s skeletons can create horrible consequences for their child. As a result of this, Armand’s parents seem to be leading factors in his denial of his mixed racial status and cause him to have race-related issues later in life; throughout the story, Chopin highlights Armand’s knowledge of his race with the use of figurative language, symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony.…
