Throughout the story “Cathedral” it is evident that the main character, Bub, has gone through some very traumatic events through his life. These things have led him to become this very disconnected person that just doesn’t connect with anybody, not even his wife. When his wife has a friend of hers, who is blind, come into town, Bub does not really know how to react. Instead of smoking that night, Bub has a break through with Robert. When Robert tells him to just close his eyes and draw a Cathedral, suddenly a new world was opened up to him. Instead of what Bub thought would happen with the blind man, something completely different happened for Bub. He connected with Robert more than he had connected with anyone in a long time. Bub had changed from a completely closed off, standoffish guy, to more of a open man with just the help of the blind man.
