the cathedral.

the narrator of this story, the cathedral, is a very close-minded man. he cant really see anything beyond his own acute point of view. when his wife invites a blind man to stay with them, the narrator cannot see past the mans blindness. he just could not get his head around the ways that the blind man lived his life. he seems to feel almost superior and could not stop pointing out the blind mans flaws. towards the end of the story, the blind man asks the narrator to close his eyes and draw. when the blind man then asks him to open his eyes, the man doesn't and instead says 'its really something'. the irony is that the blind man teaches the man with sight to see.
