what was the outcome of the storming of the bastille
Storming of the Bastille The Storming of the Bastille (French: Prise de la Bastille [pʁiz də la bastij]) occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
The Storm (short story) The storm worsens so Calixta invites Alcée into her home until it abates. Alcée then helps Calixta get some clothes off the line. He is impatient to come in and stays outside until it becomes apparent that the storm is not going to let up. Calixta gathers up the lengths of cotton sheet she had been sewing while Alcée takes a seat in the rocker. Calixta goes over to the window and observes the intensity of the storm which disturbs her. Calixta is worried about the safety of Bibi during the storm. Alcée attempts to comfort her and reminisces about the passion they once felt for each another. At first, Calixta is standoffish when Alcée tries to comfort her, but she can't resist him. As the storm increases in intensity, so does the passion of the two former lovers. The sexual encounter between the pair ends at the same time as the storm. Alcée and Calixta go their separate ways once more, and both are left with feelings of rejuvenation and newfound happiness.
