The husband in Raymond Carvers “Cathedral” was not thrilled with his wife's old friend, a blind man who came to spend the night with them. His wife had kept in touch with the blind man since working for him in Seattle years earlier. He did not know the blind man; she only heard tapes and stories about him. The blind man annoyed him: “My idea of ​​blindness came from movies. In the movies, blind people moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to. (Carver 137)” The husband does not suspect that his idea of ​​the blind is something else. The husband is already judging what the blind man will be like without even really knowing him. He appears to have judged too soon as his ideas about the blind man change and he gains a better understanding of not only the blind man, but also himself. At first, the husband has an attitude that he doesn't care about this. blind man who is friends with his wife. Then it almost seems like his indifferent attitude turns into a sort of jealousy towards the blind man as his wife always talks about him and shows her husband the recorded tapes that they passed back and forth. When husband and wife talked to each other about the blind man's life, the husband responded to his wife with an attitude that was now almost jealous. The blind man lost his wife because she had just died, and he talks about her name Beulah thinking, “Beulah is a good name for a black woman. (Carver 139)” He then asks his wife “Was your wife negro? (Carver 139)” His wife began to get angry because he didn't seem to care or try to understand and asked, “Are you crazy? (Carver 139)” She went on along with... to the center of the paper......thedral, so the husband got a paper bag and a pen to draw on. They began to draw and after a few minutes the blind man asked the 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: “It is truly extraordinary. (Carver 147)” The husband never thought he would have the experience he did with the blind man, as they basically became friends. The husband's opinion towards a blind person had changed. He saw life from a blind man's perspective and truly appreciated it. Never judge a book by its cover, because you have no idea what might be inside it. Works CitedCharters, Ann & Samuel.
