Question: Explain how the literal storm helps define the metaphorical storm.
The "currents" and trends outside mirror those in the house.
What does this following passage tell us about Calixta? We know she and Alcee are from different economic backgrounds, and it was not common for people to marry outside of their own status, so explain what you glean from that material:
"'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."
Referring to the Joseph Campbell guide, explain how Calixta is a J.C. hero even though we may not like she commits adultery.
Read the last two paragraphs/units carefully. What do we infer by reading those materials about Alcee's wife?
