"The Storm"

While I read "The Storm" by Kate Choppin, I thought there can never be an excuse to commit adultery no matter what the case may be. In this book it almost makes it seem alright in certain moments. Though I do not think it is ever right to do such a crime; the setting certainly does try to render the audience into believing it's o.k. when the mood is right. There is no excuse for the characters in this story to do the act they so chose. If I were to ever find out my wife had an affair while I went to the market to buy some shrimp, I would be outraged and would consider divorce! Calixta was lucky in this situation.
