Multiple Meanings

When Kate Chopin wrote The Storm, she intended the meaning of the title to be interpreted in different ways. There is the obvious fact that a literal storm is occuring, and then there is the figurative storm that rages inside Calixta and Alcee's passion for each other. One thing that is also known about storms, is the fact that they are never ending. Storms are always raging somewhere, in some form, and weather permitting, will come raging back in the future. So feeding off of Megan's comment about the calm before the storm, it can also be looked at as a storm that occurs (figuratively) that will definitely be around again. Everyone might be happy at this point in time, but the storms are not over.
