The story investigates Calixta's dueling relationship with her better half and her sweetheart, Alcee. Chopin utilizes the tempest as an allegory to depict Calixta's sexual emotions and battles with respect to her issue. The continuous notice of the shading white represents Calixta’s inner battle with her undertaking with Alcee.The white bed, sofa, pullover, and skin and bosoms of Calixta all have this appearing honesty about them; however then her energy is portrayed as a white fire, which repudiates the recently settled idea that white is unadulterated. Her energy is plainly not honest, accordingly taking the shading white and blending it in with the contradicting picture of fire. The issue among Calixta and Alcee reall y starts in the wake of helping crushes the chinaberry tree outside her house.Chinaberries were, as of now, utilized as the globules on rosaries, so the demolition of the tree represents the total progress from her unadulterated Catholic childhood to her current situation with infidelity.
