The Storm

I think the storm was the climactic build up of each characters true ambition. During the storm, everyone let there true self go, they gave into there fantasy and let there self go just while the storm was going on. Once that storm was over, everyone went back to there normal lives and has there stress and pressure released. Calixta got back with her former flame Alc'ee for a fling. The affair started with the storm beginning and finished once it ended. While the storm and the fling is taking place, Calixta husband is stuck at the store with there child. Alc'ee's wife and kids are out of town. Since Calixta Husband felt she was going to be mad, he brought her a can of shrimp and also cleaned the dirt and mud off of himself and there child. Alc'ee's wife was having a good time being out of town and away from her mundane life. Alc'ee missed them but was ok with them staying away longer. The wives in this story were kind of caged by there life of being a mother and wife, one got a chance of freedom during the storm, and the other became free after. Both men where good to there wife’s (except for Alc’ee’s affair), but they held them back in life.
