Calixta in the Storm
Calixta in “The Storm” by Kate Chopin is a wife, a mother, a woman with many desires. Her marriage with Bobinot seems to lack that sexiness, that passion couples of a much later time shared. She is a victorian woman whose main job is to satisfy her husband and maintain the home. Throughout her marriage, Calixta has been denied those wonderful sensations a woman feels during sex, during orgasm. The storm arrives, and Calixta is alone at home. Her husband and son are at a store and remain there during the storm for shelter. Back home, Alcee, a past lover of Calixta’s, arrives asking if he can stay while the storm passes.
