Marriage is a tradition that has been passed down through human history for over five thousand years. Traditional marriage involves a man and a woman who love and support each other, although this may not be the case in today's society. Generally, in traditional marriage, the woman and man will be loyal to each other because they have a relationship built on trust and bond. Adultery and premarital sex did not exist at that time. However, what we see on the news every day is a completely different story. The question becomes what drives women to commit adultery and what they get out of it. In Chopin's “The Tempest,” the marriage between Bobinot and Calixta was both successful and unsuccessful. Bobinot was extremely loyal to Calixta as she does everything only for the family. He went shopping for Calixta and her son. Meanwhile Calixta was waiting at home and at the same time worried about Bibi and Bobinot, her son and her husband even when Alcee came to the house to stay. "Ah, if there were Bobinot with Bibi out in that storm, if only he had not come out of Friedheimer!" (Chopin 100). “Bonte... the house will be next! If only I knew where Bibi was” From these quotes, we can assume that Calixta was really worried about her family. When Alcee came to Calixta's house, nothing was happening; there was no program to meet for adultery because in the beginning they were very strict and polite. “Can I come and wait in your gallery until the storm passes, Calixta?” he asked. “Come, Mr. Alcee.” (Chopin 100). At first their conversation wasn't flirtatious. Alcee greeted her by name and asked her permission to enter the house while Calixta called him Mr. Alcee. This... middle of paper... made a raid on her. In Calixta's case, no one knew about the relationship between her and Alcee. The author wrote "Everyone is happy in the end." But the truth is that Bobinot and Clarissee were only living in lies and once they discover the truth, not everyone will definitely be happy. The concepts of adultery and marriage gain ground in this story through its very setting, as Kingston herself states, if she had pointed it out. aunt was accused of adultery during her village's more prosperous times "could have escaped severe punishment" (Kingston, 231) in contrast to the actual situation at the time. Marriage and adultery are therefore common themes in both stories, while the way these themes have been incorporated differs due to the different settings. While in one story, in the end, “everyone was happy” (Chopin, IV), the other story has a rather tragic ending.
