Reflection on The Storm

After reading the story, we learned that Calixta is having an affair with Alcee. I think that this action is not correct. If I had a husband and found out that he is having an affair, I would felt very sad and betrayed. In my opinion, if you have an affair it is because you don’t love your husband as you say you do. In one moment of the story we were told that Calixta and Alcee had been kissing before. With that on mind, we could say that they have feelings for each other. If you feel that your are not in love with your husband, then why are you with him? When you have an affair is because you really don’t feel the same way for your husband; there is something going on in you marriage that do not make you happy. But what Calixta and Alcee did is wrong because the two of them have families that love them and think that their partners feel the same way for them. Being married is a contract between two people, if your not willing to contribute in this contract of love, then why get married?
