Cathedral is about a man, his wife, and his wife's blind friend and how the blind friend is going to be visiting the husband and wife at their home. The husband is narrarting the story and tells everything form his point of view.
From the beginning I feel that the husband is angry that the blind man is coming to visit. I feel like he thinks he is going to have to go out of his way to make the blind man feel welcome in his home. I came to realize that he is jealous and not angry. He seems to be real jealous of the tapes his wife and the blind man. I think he thinks the blind man may know more about his wife than he does and that his wife may open up to the blind man more than him. I also think he is uncomfortable with the blind man. Not knowing how to make small talk and act around him. I'm not sure I even liked the ending. I mean, I don't know if the husband even took anything from the expeience with the blind man or not. He says he didn't want to open his eyes. Was this because he was trying to see the world from a blind mans point of view or does he just not want to see the way his wife is looking at him?
