The husband of "Cathedral" Raymond Carvers was not enthusiastic about his wife's old friend, who was a blind man, coming to spend the night with them. His wife had kept in touch with the blind man since she worked for him in Seattle years ago. He did not know the blind man; he only heard tapes and stories about him. The fact that the man was blind bothered him: “My idea of ​​blindness came from the cinema. In the movies, blind people moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by guide dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to. (Carver 137) » The husband does not suspect that his ideas about the blind are anything else. The husband is already judging what the blind man will look like without even really knowing him. It seems that he judged too soon, because his ideas about the blind man change and he understands not only the blind man better, but also himself. At first, the husband feels like he doesn't care. a blind man who is friends with his wife. Then it almost seems that his indifferent attitude turns into a kind of jealousy towards the blind man, because his wife always talks about him and shows her husband the tapes they recorded and which passed back and forth. As the husband and wife talked to each other about the blind man's life, the husband responds to his wife with a now almost jealous attitude. The blind man lost his wife when she had just died, and he talks about her name Beulah thinking, “Beulah is a good name for a colored woman.” (Carver 139)” He then asks his wife “Was his wife black?” (Carver 139)” His wife started to get upset because he didn’t seem to care or try to understand and asked, “Are you crazy?” (Carver 139) » She continued to the middle of the paper......together, so the husband took a paper bag and a pen to draw on. They started drawing and after a few minutes the blind man asked her husband to close his eyes and continue drawing. The husband felt different than he had ever felt in his life. He kept his eyes closed when the blind man told him to open them and look, the husband replied, “That’s really something.” (Carver 147) »The husband never thought he would have the experience he had with the blind man, because they essentially became friends. The husband's view of a blind person had changed. He saw life from the point of view of a blind man and truly enjoyed it.
