feminist criticism

The story "The Storm" is a story written by a woman through the woman's perspective. The role of the main character in this story is the "cheating wife". She is portrayed as a helpless woman whom needs a guy for her safety.  This women character "Calixta" acts lovingly toward her spouse yet has an affair. The reasons behind affairs are different because in the story "The Room" the main character knew her husband had an affair and decided to have one herself. In "The Storm", the husband goes off into a storm while the wife is left at home with an old boyfriend, she ends up giving into temptation in the arms of a man. The wife goes on as if nothing had happened, this is similar in the story "The Room" although they were written by different sexes the endings seem to be some what similar. In both stories women are viewed as "needy" in the sense that they need a man  by their side to be considered whole. Many might still view woman this way in today's society. Although these stories were written in different time frames the cultural aspect remains the same. Some feminist critics might analyze "The Storm" differently because it was written by a woman and its more understanding of how woman think and how they feel in the given situation.
The poem I chose to read was "The Lady in the Pink Mustang". It is a poem about a lady who travels around in her pink mustang.  This woman may come across as either some type of prostitute or whore because she travels without any stability and "doesn't sell for nothing less"(133). I found it amusing how a woman wrote this and through the woman perspective because she paints such a vivid picture of this lady. Although the poem was written in the 1980s this is how women might still describe and perceive whores even though the time period is different. I would find it interesting how different the poem would be if written by a man.
