"The Storm"

When i first started reading Kate Chopin's ,"The Storm" I was shocked and confused on what the story was actually saying. The two Characters Celixta and Aclee had a romance way before the story takes place. Their romance is evolved around the storm , Which helps states peoples nature and passion towards sexuality. As the storm rolls closer the closer they get together and their sexual passion arouses. Paragraph 5 gives a great example of the passion they once had for each other and are regaining that passion for each other as the storms continues. "Do you remember—in Assumption, Calixta?" he asked in a low voice broken by passion. Oh! she remembered; for in Assumption he had kissed her and kissed and kissed her; until his senses would well nigh fail, and to save her he would resort to a desperate flight. If she was not an immaculate dove in those days, she was still inviolate; a passionate creature whose very defenselessness had made her defense, against which his honor forbade him to prevail. Now—well, now—her lips seemed in a manner free to be tasted, as well as her round, white throat and her whiter breasts(The Storm, par 22.)
As long as the storm is covering their existence from the outside world they have no worries or thoughts of their family. As far as they know they are the only two in existence.
As the storm departs their sexual experience comes to an end. Now they are back to the real world, finally aware of what they have done, but neither seem to show any sign of guilt. The last statement in "The Storm" says that "So the storm passed and everyone was happy" to me this is stating that the storm renewedneveryone. It gave celixta a break from her duties as a wife.
