Prejudices in Cathedral by Raymond Carver

Is intimacy with people sufficient? The answer is no. In life, we need to establish multiple relationships at every level. This is not to say that we should leave things behind the people we go out and love but to help individuals with other people to help them grow intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally We should establish a meaningful connection. Otherwise, we will remain stationary, indicating that we rarely develop. In Raymond Carver's "cathedral", the narrator did not see this, so his wife had a strong emotional connection with the blind.

The cathedral is a short story by Raymond Carver. This story forms a sarcastic situation in which the blind man teaches the foresightful person to "see" truly for the first time. Near the end of the story, Carver drew two characters together in the cathedral's picture as a symbolic nucleus of the story. The narrator found at a very early stage that blinds are not particularly wanted in my house. In most stories, he observed one by one and revealed his shallowness. In the next excerpt, he imagines that a blind wife must feel in her bed of death.

The story of Raymond Carver "Cathedral" is about understanding and acceptance of visually handicapped people. The narrator expresses the main theme of the story by overcoming the personal experience and mutual respect, ie prejudice against the blind. Still named speakers have unfounded beliefs and stereotypes about what the blind should be, but in a relatively short period he establishes contact with the blind, and he is a personal I laughed at him. The narrator's invisible concept of blindness has been proved wrong when he first encountered blindness (Robert). The narrator does not think that the blind man is at his house. "This blind man is now sleeping in my house" (230). But as Robert arrived at his house, he was shocked that he did not meet the blind 's opinion. "But he did not use the crutches and did not wear sunglasses, I always thought that black glasses were necessities of the blind" (232)

Raymond Carver's "cathedral" is said from the perspective of a hostile, ignorant husband who invited blind friends to spend the night. The narrator is thought to be very painful through his future explanation of his wife and nephew. However, as the story proceeded, the tone and attitude of the narrator changed from harsh to warm and opened the enlightenment. At the beginning of the story, the narrator "blind man" departed from Connecticut, "he was visiting the deceased wife 's relatives," his wife invited the blind and spent the night. The narrator begins with "Seattle summer, she needs work," and will continue to explain how his wife's relationship started. Husbands seem to be skeptical about their relationship, and his tone is shy and boring. "He did not have any money, but she fell in love with this guy, he fell in love with her, etc." He explained a blind situation with short sentences. However, his view on the ignorance of the narrator and the life of the blind man is clear.
