Calixta demonstrate huge and strong love for her family in so many ways throughout the story of “The Storm”. In this story, Calixta was not quite happy and restless in her marriage. I’m not really happy on Calixta’s decision, some people may see it wright but for me it was very wrong. She was being unfaithful not only to her husband but also to her son. She was capable at doing things that can destroy her marriage like fulfilling her sexual desires with another man and does not even feel guilty about what she did. For me, I believe that loyalty is very important and being loyal means being respectful to your partner. Alcee was Calixta’s ex-boyfriend, He represents a way for Calixta to find “happiness” and “freedom”.
