Symbolism of “The Storm"

Kate Chopin wrote a short story "Storm" which is one of her most bold stories, but it was not even intended to publicize it (Cutter 191). The two main characters of the story are Calixta and Arcy. They have attracted each other in the past few years, but now they are married to other people. After Alcee arrived at Calixta's house to find a shelter, they began a passionate moment. In a storm named "Arashi", the storm is important; if it does not exist, Calixta and Alcee will not be as powerful as they are.

Chopin creatively used the symbolic meaning in 'storm' to make it a brilliant and noble short story. This storm symbolizes the strong charm between Calixta and her old boyfriend, and the confusion that Alcee experienced when she tried to sleep with her. Thunder striking the China Berry Tree told the act of adultery. Finally, the symbol of the social ladder is the bare feet of riding Alcee and Bobinot. Such symbols can not be found easily at the beginning, but these symbols make the interpretation of the story more interesting.

Symbolism is one of the most important elements of artistic depth. It is the color of paintings, the metaphor of poetry, or the settings of scenes and books. Like a crow symbolizing danger and a symbol of death, the symbol becomes very wide. Alternatively, you can use more specific symbols, such as broken images symbolizing separation or anxiety. Using comparisons is a good way to relate deeper meanings. Through metaphor and metaphor, it is best to compare things with exciting images and stronger symbolic meanings. For example, waves symbolizing power, diamonds symbolizing elegance and value, blades symbolizing accuracy and danger.

An important sign in the story is dust. Paul and Allen children are bothered by dust in the storm. Another symbol is a stormy wind symbolizing conflict. Paul and Allen insisted against each other by insisting on whether they should leave home whether they should stay or not. Likewise, the wind blows a lot of dust in the crowd and attacks the character. Another symbol is light. It expresses hope of survival as it has a shining lamp in the darkness of the storm. In addition, that light reflects the pain generated
