Answer and Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the characters to show how dreaming about something changes the entire psychological and emotional construction of an individual, leading him to the despair that makes him do anything to achieve that dream, even something immoral and improper. This is clear in Gatsby, who through his dream of social ascension, ends up taking very immoral attitudes, these attitudes are reinforced by his dream of being with Daisy. This quest for ascension and achievement becomes more and more desperate, because it seems increasingly distant, even though Gatsby has already achieved most of his goals. F. Scott Fitzgerald shows how uncontrolled despair, guided by desire, can cause tragedies and irreparable losses, as happened with Gatsby, who so much pursued his goals in non-commendable ways, had a sad and undesirable ending.

zheka24 [161]

             The author uses many symbols to represents and plots his story. One such symbols is the 'storm'. It is the main symbol of the story. It mainly represents the sexual drive of  Alcée and Calixta and their repercussions because of this drive. The 'rain' is also used as a symbol in this story. It symbolizes and introduces the adulterous affair between the two. The rain starts falling when Alcee arrive sand it stops as he moves away. Other symbols used are the name of the place, Assumption, the colors white, red, green, etc.

In “The Storm”, by Kate Chopin,  Chopin not only wishes to create the perfect setting but she also uses her setting as the symbol of the affair. The storm and the sexual passion of Calixta and Alcée are both potentially destructive. The storm's destructive act which lead the two protagonists to have sex, it will most likely to have a destructive effect to their marriages.

             Kate Chopin uses the word 'storm' as a metaphor as it sets the mood of the setting of the story and also it symbolizes its potential destructive nature which may ruin the marriage life of both Alcee and Calixta.
