The story I chose for the movie is “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver. It’s a very interesting and simple story that change the perspective of a narrator of how he can see beyond the surface, and the inner self. The writer uses a first-person narrator to emphasize the hidden aspects of the story that are beyond human experience which the narrator relates too. For the cast, the role of un-named narrator would play by my uncle. My aunt will play the role of un-named narrator’s wife. Lastly Robert would play by my friend’s grandfather. So these are the main characters that these people will play, because as far as I know my cast is pretty similar in a lot of ways to this story characters.
The character and my uncle share almost the same character traits like jealous, in love with his wife, bitter and narrow minded. He “look” things but not “see” what lie beneath it, and this what he said for Roberts wife “I found myself thinking what a pitiful life this woman must have led.”In the story as narrator says “Her office to be.” So he’s extremely jealous of his wife’s ex-husband, and he doesn’t want the blind man to visit too. The narrator is struggling to find happiness in his life and self-awareness. He said on his wife’s suicide …show more content…
He never made blindness his weakness at all. He was and still is a center of attention in a good way whenever he’s with someone. And his experience about life make a person see the world in a different way. Robert didn’t allow his blindness to damage his quality of life. He’s an easygoing, caring person who sets the narrator at ease. He’s open minded and willing to learn anything, he said “I’m always learning something, learning never ends”. I think he’s the hero of the story and who wants to make his experiences personally meaningful. Robert is unique, inspires a narrator to draw cathedral when he was unable to describe
