Cathedral

Cathedral is a story by Raymond Carver. This story is about the friendship between an older blind man and a woman who used to be his secretary. The man goes to visit the woman and her husband after his wife dies. The husband does not like the idea of this man coming over, but they become friends. This story fits in the chapter about sight and insight. Because even though the man can not see physically, he can still see. The husband is the opposite of this man. He can see but he cannot see. It is ironic that the man with sight does not see, while the blind man does. Their preceptions of life are different. In another ironic note, the blind man seems happier than the husband. The movie seen in class was very similar to the story, not too many changes.
