Stereotypes in Raymond Carver's Cathedral

He did not know what to say and said: "By the way, which side of the train do you go to?" Robert replied, but his wife was shocked by her husband's request. Clearly, neither side of the train can provide the best view to the blind. My wife hopes to make her husband take me to Robert better, more sociable, more respectful and more exciting, but my husband's behavior is "to work with disabled work in the UK workplace It is something like abuse of a person. He is expected to actively talk to Robert, but he still discriminates and behaves negligently against the blind.

In the story "Royal Cathedral" written by Raymond Carver, it seems that the stereotype of the blind man forms obstacles between the blind and sight. A man in the story is always misunderstood by "blinds" from "movie" (Carver 1). The title "Cathedral" is important as it helps men to imagine the life of Robert. As blind Robert entered his life, it was difficult for men to form a relationship with Robert due to his visual impairment. The man also created a picture of what Robert looks like in his mind and how he acts. This is because this man has never interacted with the blinds and has come up with Robert's preconceived idea.

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.

Raymond Carver, the story of "Cathedral" is about those who overcome his prejudices and accept blind people as competent as he. The narrator has a very strict view on how the blind man should be. When his wife told him that her blind friend, Robert, came to visit him, he was not quite happy. "My idea of ​​blindness comes from the movie, in the movies blinds do not move slowly and laugh, sometimes they are guided by the dogs seen.The blind man in my family is my It is not what I expected. "(Carver) The narrator was surprised to note that Robert does not use crutches or sunglasses. Robert can support himself without doing the help of others and can do something. He is very independent and the narrator thinks that the blind man should be exactly opposite. This really shocked the narrator because he thought he was going to be a heavy burden.
