Themes in “The Storm” Kate Chopin was an American author that wrote many stories that are based in Louisiana. She bases most of her work on women’s movement of the nineteenth century. One of Chopin’s prevalent stories called “The Storm”, focuses on the expectation of women’s marriage in the 1800’s. This story demonstrates numerous significant elements that give the reader a sense of what is going on throughout the story.
Kate Chopin’s “The Storm” centers around a woman called Calixta; who has a sexual encounter with a former lover in midst of a storm. The storm centers on lost love and being in unwanted marriages. The raging storm outside the house unfolds simultaneously with the emotional and sexual passion between Calixta and Alcée.

In Chopin 's “The Storm,” female sexuality is explored in a creole woman of the late 1800’s. The short story begins on a scene of an incoming storm, a plot device used by the author to propel the story. This short story describes an encounter leading to an affair between a woman, Calixta, and a man, Alcee. Rather than pass judgment on the characters by condemning the morality of their actions, Chopin simply tells their tale. The author explores this female sexuality by refraining from judgment, meticulously recording the couple’s encounter through allegory and creates a peaceful ending for every character, who, seemingly, are all better off than they were before the affair.
Additionally, using the natural environment in this context sends the message that a women’s sexuality is a natural thing. Chopin shows that women have desires too. “The Storm” was written in the nineteenth century; however, it was not published immediately. In the nineteenth century, women were
The text we have read this term that for me explored nature in the most interesting way was definitely The Storm by Kate Chopin. As referred to in the title Chopin used a storm as the basis of the story. A dramatic affair story which I personally believe that would not have the same drama atmosphere without the storm. The story begins with Bobinot and his son Bibi in a store ready to go home when they realize that a storm is approaching so they decided to wait until it passes.

The social, political, ideological, and cultural setting of the country was undergoing radical changes. heretofore and natural selection summoned into question established views concerning human origin (theories in which Kate Chopin had more than a passing interest); urbanization and reconditioning of the country following the Civil War posed before people new and different challenges; and, perhaps most prominently, the women's rights movement had been accumulating force and tempo since 1861, when the first woman's rights seminar was held in Seneca Fall, New York.

In “The Storm” by Kate Chopin, the setting and plot reinforce each other by the bringing about of two different types of storms. The setting itself is about an actual storm that begins to take over the tiny home as “the rain beat upon the low, shingled roof with a force and clatter that threatened to break an entrance and deluge them there”(106). This statement is trying to explain that all at once, the storm came in almost as a flood taking them completely over for the time being and it leaves them with a beautiful rest of the day filled with sun-shine and joy. The actual storm in the setting and the storm of passion in the plot both come in the tiny house all of a sudden, but they disappear just as fast as they came.

The Storm, written by Kate Chopin in 1898 is a short story depicting an extramarital affair in the South. This story is rather scandalous especially when one considers the era in which it was written but demonstrated the realities of our world today in terms of lust, sexuality, secret affairs, marriage and relations.
