Candidly speaking, it is an interesting story and the drawing procedure of Cathedral is vivid. But what attracts me most and what I find most funny is the jealousy psychology of the husband. The blind man has been closely keeping touch with his wife over ten years and they are quite familiar with each other through recording tapes. The husband seems inimical to the the blind man but he pretends to perform politely and warmly to treat him. And indeed, I was surprised at the senses of the blind man. He is able to perceive anything without eyes and does well, even direct the husband's drawing.
However, what confused me is that why the author uses so many words, several pages before getting into the subject - the depiction of Cathedral. Is it a sentiment basis? Does he want to show how animosity alters to appreciation? Anyway, I think it is interesting to know about how the blind perceive the world and how they are different from the normal ones.
