"Cathedral" Changes

The frustrating way the husband in "Cathedral" thinks in stereotypes is only redeemed by his eventual character development towards the end of the story. Moreso, I don't believe I would have even enjoyed it if the blind man, Robert, had told him to keep his eyes closed to see the cathedral they were drawing, however the husband redeemed himself in my eyes by deciding on his own to see the way Robert does. As frustrating as it is, it reflects the truth that you cannot change a person, they have to choose to change themselves.
