In the wake of having received extremely harsh criticism for her novel The Awakening, Kate Chopin would never publish another piece of her writing. The story “The Storm “was not published until it was included in a book of her work titled The Complete Works of Kate Chopin in 1969 (Ward 89). The story uses this storm as a metaphor for quick passion, erupting in the middle of a thunderstorm and the electricity of the attraction compared to the crack of lightning storm. The descriptions of the storm intermingled description of passion even as the storm and when Chopin writes “with one hand she clasped his head, her lips lightly touching his way. The other hand stroked the sitting with his muscular shoulders. The growl of thunder was distant and passing” (Ward 93). Both Calixta and Alcee went back to their normal lives, acting as if nothing happened in the storm. At the end Chopin writes “so the storm passed and everyone was happy” (Ward 94).

In “The Story of an Hour” Chopin writes about a very different experience that lasts for a short period of time. The hour that Chopin writes about also contains a certain amount of joy and a sense of freedom that was expressed through passion in “The Storm”. When Louise Mallard discovers that her husband has been killed she retreats to her room and experiences a sense of relief that is a surprise to the reader. Elements of nature as well as descriptions of the room both come together to describe a sense of prison and a sense of release. As spring begins to emerge outside her window she also begins to experience a sense of rebirth. At the same time, he the window is a symbol of the prison that shes been living in during her marriage (The Story of an Hour 3). When it is discovered that her husband still lives, she drops that her joy ended even as she should have felt joy for his safe return.
