Blind Leads the Blind
... When his wife’s blind friend is coming to visit his wife, the main character does not want to see him because the blind man “[is] no one [he knows]. And his being blind [bothers him]” (Kennedy, 289). “A blind man in [his] house [is] not something [he looks] forward to” because he has never seen a blind man before (289). Only what he knows about blind men, which “move slowly, never laugh, and are led by seeing-eye dogs,” comes from movies (289). Also, he does not want to him because he is jealous of relationship that his wife and Robert, the blind man’s name, have. ... When Robert comes, “Bub,” the main character named later by the blind man, does not talk to him at all. ... Throughout the story, “bub” has changed from narrow minded, selfish person to caring with better attitude toward blind man, which makes him a round character.
