The inability of sight is a predominant theme in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of ‘King Lear.’ I believe this theme has it’s place in the heart of the play as it appears in many shapes and forms through the portrayal of character’s vision and imagery used in the text. It enhances other ideas in the play‚ therefore resulting in the audience having a better visual and wider understanding of the plot and primary issues. Shakespeare’s motif of blindness is used throughout the entirety of the play.

In the story "Cathedral" written by Raymond Carver‚ it seems that stereotypes of the blind form barriers between the blind and the sighted.

As Robert‚ the blind man‚ entered his life‚ it was hard for the man to form any bond with Robert due to his visual impairment. The man even created a picture in his
