    Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” is fascinating short story written in 1983. As I indulged in the story I was somewhat surprised by the narrators thoughts and actions. As I read the story again I started to understand the actions of the unnamed narrator and how they related to the theme. I have dislike for the narrator in this story, but I am glad that he had the epiphany that he had at the end of the story and can forgive him for his actions. It is clear that the narrator feels very uncomfortable about a blind man who he has never met before coming to his house.…
