General summary of "The Storm" by Kate Chopin. Intro, 2 paragraphs, and conclusion

I enjoyed Kate Chopins short recital The Storm, because of her meticulous use of symbolism. Each cadence I read the story, I became aware of another elusive metaphor; and still, I wonder how many I unmarked?

The narrative surrounds the brief affair of Calixta and Alcee, who are both(prenominal) married. When the story begins, Calixtas husband, Bobinot and their young son, Bibi decide to wait out an imminent invade at a local general store. Calixta is home alone, lean to the household chores. She is unmindful(predicate) of the approaching storm, just as she is unaware of the approaching storm in her heart.

At this time, Alcee Laballiere, a former lover, arrives at her home, seeking shelter from the storm. Although the attraction between them is only concisely explored, they realize something is about to happen- both with the weather outside and their feelings inside. They both remember intimate times in the past, further foreplay their passion. As the storm rages in the sky, they succumb to their emotions, oblivious to the world around them. In the end, Alcee rides away with the passing storm, and Calixtas family returns home.

Chopin employs a misleadingly simple ending. Throughout the story, the storm parallels itself to the deep feelings within Calixta, that there are also parallels with reference to the other characters. in that respect are many hidden emotions and metaphors to be revealed upon careful analytic thinking; they are so intricately woven into the story that I wonder if anyone other than the author could recognize all of them.
