Before disappearing during an attempt to circumnavigate the world, Amelia Earhart once declared that “[the] most difficult thing [to do] is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.” Although most people would not claim this amidst preparation for a 29,000-mile-long flight, the principle Earhart states carries over to nearly all matters in life—including freeing oneself of confinement.

The mere presence of sexual desire in Calixta is a feminist statement itself, as sex was considered out of a woman’s metaknowledge, which is shown as the storm passes by.
