Description
"The Storm" by Kate Chopin, is about a married woman who commits adultery without lamentation. Chopin's purpose is to put across her feminist point of view; if a man is allowed to have a mistress, a woman should be allowed to have a lover as well.

Calixta's willingness for a sexual affair helps us understand Chopin's feminist ideology. She is very detailed and raw when describing the sex between Calixta and Alcee. Chopin describes the sex as normal and...
