Cathedral


1. The narrator is not looking forward to seeing the blind man because he thinks very stereotypical about blind people. He says they move slowly and never laugh, and that they have seeing eyed dogs. He also said this because of things that he saw in movies. This says that the narrator's character is terrible for judging on stereotypes.

2. The wife thought that is was so interesting about the blind man touching her face that she wrote a poem about it. The blind man is trying to feel what she looks like so she is being seen by him. It also could be a sense of attention as she attempts suicide.

3. It means to make that person's friend, your friend. So you do whatever it takes to make them seem very comfortable and try to make them your friend also.

4. The blind man never got to physically see what Beulah looked like, but he did see her mentally and emotionally. They ended up getting married together and had relations with each other. He also unfortunately had to bury her from her loss against cancer.

5. The characters smoke pot so that they can relax themselves. It reveals that they like to be laid back people and not all energetic.

6. Churches reveal that God is the only God and that he is the Almighty God. In churches they also have statues of the son Jesus, and he came to save us from our sins.

7. The narrator doesn’t see anything at the end of the story. He says that he knew he was in his house but he wasn’t in anything. He also has trouble describing the Cathedral because he can’t see it.
