Chopin transcends time

Greetings! This is my 4th posting.

I just couldn't get enough of reading Kate Chopin's 'The Storm'. I am as captivated as to how this author is able to come up with such diction when she wrote her stories whether if her stories are based on real events or purely imagination. From her work, I can immediately sense that men often find women's emotions difficult to fathom. Chopin eases this difficulty by laying options to unexplored pastures, for example the joy of freedom when Calixta was having a fling with Alcee during her husband's absence. She speaks for all women through her stories. 'The Storm' highlights the dissatisfaction and insecurity, experienced by women worldwide. The female sexuality is always taken for granted. How often does a woman initiate the lovemaking process or ask for sex? A woman is to be docile and suppress all desires. That's so uncalled for! Chopin, in her story 'The Storm' uses Calixta as a symbol of woman the world over. She also shows that women have desires which need to be satisfied too. Women who are going through the same predicament all over the world will feel liberated whenever they were to come across stories such as Chopin's 'The Storm'. Women's issues have always been sidelined since time immemorial so, men in general need to be re- educated on how to respect women in each and every aspects.

Well, got to go now. Baby Alert! I will continue with my findings in my next posting. Till then, cheers.
