Comparison of “The Storm” and “The Bridges of Madison County” The story by Kate Chopin “The Storm” reminded me so much of the book “The Bridges of Madison County” by Robert James Waller. The characters are set in a place isolated from their families so that they have the freedom to interact. In Chopin’s work she has the storm keeping the husband and young son from coming home which also causes the former lover to have to come in the house because it is raining so hard.
