What details in “The Storm” emphasize the fact that Bobinôt loves hiswife? What details reveal how imperfectly he comprehends her nature?
What will be an ideal response?
- Before the storm hits, Bobinôt buys his wife a can of shrimps. However fond she may be of shrimp, this simple gesture suggests that he sees Calixta as a wife, housekeeper, cook, and mother—not as a sexual, passionate woman. Clearly he loves her, but the love feels rooted in familiarity rather than eroticism. That he sits on the keg “stolidly holding the can of shrimps while the storm burst” suggests he is trying to hold onto his wife, however imperfectly his attempt may be. It is this stolidness, perhaps, that has prevented him from ever exploring his wife’s passionate nature.
