The Storm

The Storm was a rather interesting story. Being based off of the love affair that takes place in this story, I think it was interesting how they contrasted the weather outside with what was happening in the bedroom. It was apparent that Calixta and Alcee had something between them in the past that they never let go of. They took advantage of the opportunity and gave into temptation. It appeared that Alcee and Calixta had a chemistry that lacked between Calixta and Bobinot. I found this story at times was hard to follow due to dialogue. The dialogue contained many phrases and southern slang that I am not accustomed to. I would make the comparison that not only there was a storm created by nature, but also a storm of lust and temptation. It seems as though now that Calixta has given in to the temptation, she will not be able to pass up any other opportunity to be with Alcee. I think that this affair is far from over and there is much more that could be in addition to this story. Overall, the story was not too bad and provided some rather interesting details with an ending in happiness.
