In the short story “Cathedral” the point of view isn't hard to figure out. Through the first person narrative, the reader is able to see the transformation that is undergone by the main character in a single night. One of the first things the narrator describes is his wife's relationship with Robert. From what the husband describes, the reader is left with the impression that he doesn't think very highly of blind people. The reader is also left with the sense that he distrusts blind people, more specifically Robert's relationship with his wife. Throughout the duration of the story, the husband and narrator is fixated on his wife. As the story unfolds, the reader is left with the perception that the husband is not fully happy in his marriage.
