I have been reading Anna Karenina the past few weeks, and two of the main characters in the book commit adultery. I've been thinking about why someone would do this and I've come up with two conclusions (though there are probably more.) First, the person is not completely committed to their spouse. When you're not completely committed to something, your mind wanders and thinks of, then dwells on other possibilities. One of these possibilities for a married person is to have a secret affair. The second conclusion I've come up with is the reason why Anna became unfaithful. It is that they don't love their spouse. It takes hard work to stay in love with your spouse for your whole life. When that work isn't done, it is very easy to become infatuated with someone else and fall (as is Anna's case.)
