Since the beginning of time, men and women have felt passion for each other. As time has past, many authors have written about the overwhelming feelings that can occur between humans and the power of lust. It is the search for pleasure, for feeling alive, and for feeling like a passionate human being. Kate Chopin describes these emotions in "The Storm" a story that can be compared with similar themes of today. First, after many years of marriage, couples might lose the feelings of passion they have in the beginning of the relationship. Couples still love each other, but their lust is transformed into a compassionate partnership.

Second, today's impersonal societies have made it easier and more acceptable to be unfaithful while in a relationship. SD3With the creation of man came the creation of lust and infidelity that has been with man from the beginning of time and will follow to the end of time. Third, a major factor for infidelity to occur depends on the situation at hand. Couples who divorced were seen as outcasts of society whose laws were built on Biblical foundations. During these events it was the woman's job to take care of the house and the children, and, therefore she stayed at home. The storm creates a sense of excitement, and controlling her feelings can be hard. Another example can be the separation of men and women in social gatherings. For example, a man going on a business trip might have a mistress in his city of destination, while back at home his wife is taking this time to meet her lover. One cause might be the lack of religious commitment; another might be the equal rights laws, which allow women to have social standing. New York, New York: Addison Wesley Longman, 1999. SD2It is not uncommon for a story today to have a plot, which is focused on unfaithful relationships, in contrast to the fifties when tv and radio portrayed perfect couples and families.
