The Narrator/Husband In Raymond Carver's Cathedral
Throughout Raymond Carver’s story “Cathedral” one is shown three very vague characters. First being the narrator/ husband of the wife. He is the most important of characters because the story is his point of view and about his “blindness” as a person. Secondly, there is the wife whom used to work for the blind man. Lastly, the blindman named Robert whom has helped the wife in times of need. Do to the husband being the narrator, one will recognize his emotional detachment to the other characters in the story. An example of this detachment is that he doesn’t call anyone by their names or address them with any names. Bethany Qualls writer of “A Narrator’s Blindness in Raymond Carver’s a “Cathedral” does a very good job at describing the narrators
