The Storm by Kate Chopin is a very good story about infidelity. This story was written in 1898 so back then Im sure it had alot of controvery to it but nowadays it would just be a regular story because infidelity is something that happens as regular as showers. Another reason this was so controversial at the time it was written was because it was about a woman cheating on a man and that was nearly unheard of back then. Back then infidelity was taboo but for a woman to cheat on a man was ever worse.
The story is about Calixta who is married to Bobinot. Calixta is home alone while Bobinot goes to the market with their son. Alcee who is Calixtas ex boyfriend goes to Calixtas house and stays there for a while. One thing leads to another and they have sex. Bobinot comes back home and everything seems fine Calixta is happy and they are happy together like if nothing ever happened. Alcee's story ends with him reading a letter from his wife who is on vacation. His wife tells him that she will be staying where she is at for a while longer and she says shes never been happier. The story ends there and leaves people assuming that Alcees wife is cheating on him.
