Our society holds the oaths of marriage as a bond forever to one another. It is surely grounds for divorce if either party where to have sex with anyone else. Even just an eye toward the opposite sex can cause a fear of what it could be. Is it really such a bad thing if solid sound marriages find themselves in chance opportunities of being in the moment of passion for nothing more than just that? This can be a bond strengthening and even re-kindling of the good qualities in a marriage that had become lost in our everyday lives as is shown with Calixta and Alce in Kate Chopin’s “The Storm”.

A cyclone brings them together. When Alce shows up she treats him in the same way as she would any neighbor during a storm and he too was only going to stay on the porch until the severity of the storm pushed them both inside the house. There is no harm at this point, Alce needs shelter and Calixta is worried about her family from the window where unintentionally she falls back into his arms. The author is clear about the past relationship they have had before being married and the fact that they both have these passionate feelings aroused in each other. This short contact “has aroused all the old-time infatuation and desire for her flesh” (Chopin 82) for Alce. Her eyes gazing into his went from fear to “unconsciously betrayed a sensous desire” (Chopin 82). They both were caught in the passion of a past event that happened between them in Assumption. It sounds so natural. This was an event of nothing but kissing, and in the bedroom is depicted with nothing but kissing until we read of his leaving. Could it be that it was just that? A passionate kissing of each other that went no
