“The Tempest” by Kate Chopin: History of Nature's DesireNaturalism is about bringing humans into the “natural world.” As humans, we are seen as aspects of nature collectively not separate as they once were. “Naturalism holds that everything we are and do is connected to the rest of the world and arises from the conditions that precede and surround us. Each of us is a natural process unfolding, and every aspect of that process is caused and is a cause in itself” (“A Guide to Naturalism”). Humans are like “animals”, they contain the same drives as animals. They are simply “natural”. Many authors express naturalism in their writings, such as Kate Chopin. She expresses a naturalist vision of sexual impulses which ranks her among naturalist writers. Naturalism in writing can be caused by many aspects. The driving factors of naturalism are, but are not limited to: physical forces, biological forces, social forces, psychological forces, and environmental forces (Kate Chopin and Naturalism). All of this can change the way we act as human beings. It can take control of our behavior and moral judgment. “Naturalism may pay less attention to the person's freedom, choice, and personal responsibility” (Kate Chopin and Naturalism). By paying less attention to these aspects of being human, we are led by other forces that we may or may not control completely or at all. One force that we cannot control or do not want to control is sexual desire. Sexual desire can be considered a biological force. It is an impulse that can lead us, as humans, to act like pure animals, regardless of our values ​​or commitments. Kate Chopin, like many other nature writers, incorporates her personal experiences into her writing. It has been said that...... middle of paper...... The affair brews, it happens, and then it's over. But as we know, another storm will arise, and so will the affair between these two characters. When Alcée sends a letter to his wife telling her that she should not rush home, it is an indication that Alcée can expect to see Calxita again soon. "Mrs. Chopin may refuse to pass judgment on morality, but she only covers a day and a storm and does not exclude the possibility of later misery" (Koloski 145). Kate Chopin ends the story with the idea that it may have been the first time but certainly not the last time it will happen. In this short story, “there is cosmic exuberance, joy and mystery as it happens. 'Alcée and Calixta are one with each other and with elemental nature' (Koloski 147) Her views on sexual desires and the way she compares it to the elements of the storm proves that she is in it. makes a naturalist writer..
