In this section, Chopin describes and parallels the cycle of this incoming raising storm to the growing emotional uproar brewing between Alcèe and Calixta. First, it begins to grow dark and Calixta notices the weather has grown oddly warm. These are the signs of the oncoming cyclone, and foreshadowing of the affair that is to come. An affair that is dark in its sinister nature, and warm building up to the heat of passion that will arise.
The storm is continually built up to be a wild force with words like “lashing” and “fierce slanting” both showing the power of the force of the rain and wind on everything around it.

The Scarlet Ibis" James Hurst effectively uses symbolism in the first paragraphs of his short stories to create a mood filled with despair, gloominess, life, and death. To create a gloomy feeling, James Hurst used the changing of seasons. In "The Scarlet Ibis," he wrote that summer was now dead, but autumn had not yet been born. Also, in "The Summer of Two Figs," James Hurst created the statement: a summer born of fulsome promise faded into falling leaves unfulfilled. A feeling of desolation was presented here when Hurst implied that summer was born with great promise that eventually evanesced without being fulfilled.

Around mid-nineteenth-century, American Literary Nationalism began to emerge in the United States since the country was looking forward to develop their own true identity: an American culture. During that specific period, many literary writers helped to create this new identity, such is the case of Washington Irving with his short story “The Devil and Tom Walker.” This piece of literary work demonstrates thoroughly the practices and doctrines of the Puritan religion that would not stand an immoral and outrageous behavior of an oncoming sinner population. Irving clearly states that this new emerging American lifestyle is doomed unless the people summit to God’s will and destroy all kinds of sins from among themselves,
Shelley draws from the characteristics of gothic fiction influenced by The Romantic Movement, through employing sinister connotations that forebode Victor’s downfall, “…the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out…” This portrays the reality that the value of creating life is unattainable, which is furthermore explored in Blade Runner, as Scott presents a world in which technology has eliminated the defining features of humanity. Shelley also alludes to The Promethean Myth and the symbolism of oppressing fire, “…the glimmer of the half-extinguished light…” to emphasise the danger of attaining knowledge beyond accepted boundaries.

The poem opens by setting the scene — it is raining, and a storm is raging outside — and with it establishes the tone of the action that follows. The storm is described in simple, direct language: it sets in early, it tears down tree limbs, and its force disturbs the calmness of the lake.
