Cathedral The husband in this story is a round character. The author gives you a sense of who this character is as a person. He lets you get inside his mind and his thoughts to let you know what he is thinking and how he feels. At the beginning of the story, we see a man who already has his mind made up about people. He talks about his wife’s friend “the blind man”. He does not refer to him by his name because that is all he sees this man as, is a blind man. When he meets the blind man, he is expecting him to be the stereotypical blind person who uses a cane and wears dark sunglasses. He has already made up his mind about him, without knowing him as a person. He also talks about his wife’s ex-husband as “this man who enjoyed her favors”. The husband does not think that these people are even worthy of names when he is referring to them. He comes off as a little close-minded and judgmental. He asks if the blind man’s wife was a negro because of her name, and the wife is offended by that question. He seems to love his wife though. He was a little jealous when she told him about the story when the blind man asked her to touch her face. He did not understand why he wanted to do that. He gives you the sense that he thinks his wife is a beautiful woman. At one point in the story, his wife is in her robe and it slips down her leg and opens. He thinks about fixing it because Robert is right next to her, but he decides not to. He figures, why should he, the blind man cannot see her anyway. As the night goes on, he gets to know the blind man, who we now know as Robert, to be more of a person and not just some blind man in his house. He starts to talk to him about what they are watching on T.V. and asks if he knows what a cathedral looks like. Robert says no and asks the husband to explain. The husband has a hard time explaining, so Robert asks if he can help him draw it. The
