This question is about "the storm" by Kate Chopin
Answer Explanation:
1. Calixta is happy at the end of the story because her son and her husband arrive home safely, even in the face of the storm, besides, she does not feel any remorse for the adultery she committed.
2. Everyone is happy because she has a family that was not destroyed by her actions, and they know that adultery is impossible to be discovered, so their lives, as they are used to, will be maintained.
3. Reading the short story, we have the impression that the author does not encourage adultery, but does not see it as something capable of destroying a family and ruining the marriage, but rather as something that can be kept secret, without hurting anyone.
4. The only moral tone that can be considered in this story is that people should do what they want and make them happy regardless of the rules established by society.
