The Storm
Kate Chopin
1969
Introduction
Written in 1898 but not published until it appeared in The Complete Works of Kate Chopin in 1969, The Storm
has been widely regarded as Kate Chopin's most accomplished short story. It is a sequel to the short story At the 'Cadian Ball,
which was published in the collection Bayou Folk in 1894.
Chopin composed The Storm
shortly after she wrote The Awakening (published 1899), the controversial novel for which she is best known. The Storm
is predominantly characterized by complexity of theme and characterization, psychological realism, and a focus on sexuality. In the short story, Chopin depicts a sexual encounter between two individuals who are both married to other people.
The Victorian audience and critics who read The Awakening reacted violently to the frank portrayals of human sexuality that the novel contained. (Victorianism refers to the socially and morally conservative attitudes prevalent during the late nineteenth century, and the Victorian era covers the time period of the rule of Britain's Queen Victoria, 1837 to 1901.) Discouraged by this harsh response to the novel, Chopin never sought publication for The Storm,
as it featured the same sexually explicit subject matter. The story is available in the collection in which it was first published. It may also be found in the more recent collection Kate Chopin: Complete Novels and Stories, which was published in 2002.
Author Biography
Born as Katherine O'Flaherty into a prominent St. Louis family on February 8, 1850, Chopin was the second child of merchant Thomas O'Flaherty, an Irish immigrant, and Eliza Faris O'Flaherty, who came from an established, aristocratic Creole family. When Kate was just five, her father perished in a railroad accident. After his death, she returned home from Sacred Heart Academy, which she had just begun attending as a boarding student. Her great grandmother began teaching Kate at home. In 1857, Kate returned to Sacred Heart, this time as a day student. Due to the upheavals and uncertainties brought about by the Civil War (1861-1865), Kate's enrollment at school was sporadic, but she was a good student who read voraciously; she graduated in 1868.
That year, she made her official entrance into Southern aristocratic society and made the required rounds of social appearances as a debutante. In her diary, she confessed that she found the endless social gatherings to be tiresome. In 1870, Kate married Oscar Chopin,
