As dawn approached, Cory walked through the forest desperately searching for refuge, when he came across a young woman bathing a pond. He stood behind a bush spellbound as he watched the naked girl swimming in the pond. Just as she was exiting the pond, he caught her attention and told her that he needed to get home. At first, Chile was suspicious of him, but she decided to help him. She took him to a small cottage and bandaged his bruises. When her husband came, she persuaded him to drop Cory back in Zephyr, but he was not willing to do so. Instead he dropped Cory at a gas station, leaving him to use a phone to call for help. Tom came to pick up Cory and he was anxious to hear what his son had gone through. A few weeks after that event, Mayor Swope invited Cory to his office.

In Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral,” Robert’s “seeing” was used to challenge the narrator’s prejudice and narrow mindset. First, Robert quickly showed that his blindness did not hold him back from activities such as smoking and eating. The narrator is uncomfortable with anything that does not fit in the world he knows. He describes the blind man at first as “creepy” and his beard “too much.” At this point, the narrator only thinks of seeing as looking, rather than true insight.…

When we first meet the narrator he is fearful of his new visitor and what it will do to his family and shows that he does not have very good feelings towards this blind man. The narrator immediately lets us know where he stands by saying "I wasn't enthusiastic about his visit... And his being blind bothered me." (Carver 106). This statement shows a great deal of ignorance in the character and a good sense of short-sighted views. However, he goes to stress that "[His] idea of blindness came from the movies.". He uses the pop cultural reference to blind people to excuse his ignorance, but all he shows to the audience is that he knows only of fictional blind people and has to base his opinion on his visitor from that (Carver 106). With him being a honest character, he does reveal what is truly bothering him is his jealousy of Robert, but initially this information is clouded by the narrator's obsession with Robert's blindness. From that we can actually come out and say that the narrator is blind in the beginning of the story, and he's the one that can't see who Robert is. He even tells us that he has no real understanding of his wife when he mentions her poetry "I didn't think much of the poem. Of course, I didn't tell her that." even though he…
The narrator has many misconceptions built up in his head about the blind.”I remembered having read somewhere that the blind didn’t smoke... I knew only that much about blind people” (4). It was all he knew and all he really cared to know. There is a sense of discomfort imposed on the narrator with the blind man in his presence. Mainly because he doesn’t understand how someone without such a powerful sense can be so in-tuned with life. He was…
The narrators statement at the very beginning of the story explains his own lack of knowledge concerning physical blindness. His lack of knowledge relating to the visitors disability is undeniable, yet he makes it very clear that he is…
A persons ability to see is often taken for granted as it is in the story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver. Although the title hints that the story is about a cathedral, it is really about two men who are blind. one of the men is Robert, the blind friend of the narrators wife. The other is the narrator, the husband himself; he is psychologically blind. through the husbands words and actions when he is dealing with Robert, the blind man, it is shown that the husband doesn’t “see” or understand what Roberts blindness means and how it changes or doesn’t change him as a person. At first, Robert makes the husband feel very uncomfortable, for the husband doesn’t know what to say or do around the blind man. As the story progresses, we can see a change in the husband, he seems to be able to see Robert as a person and not just a blind man.…

I am particularly interested in attachment theories and ideas arising from objects theory namely Winnicott’s concepts of the transitional object and the “good enough mother”. Having two children, now aged 12 and 14 years old, I can see how the theories applied to them as babies and how it continues to be of significance now they are entering adolescence. It has also allowed me to understand relational patterns in my own life. I particularly like the recognition and evidence that, though childhood experiences are important in a therapeutic setting, past experiences can be reconsidered and changes made.…

“India lives in her villages”, a maxim attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, rings true when we see rural India retaining its old domination of the national population and economy in its 627000 villages, even after six decades of a development model that cherishes urbanization and industrialization. Close to 69% of Indians—743 million people or 138 million households—live in rural areas, generating 56% of the national income. With urban markets showing signs of saturation, companies are getting increasingly excited about the potential of rural India. But they're also finding it a tough nut to crack.…
