Carver takes a lot of efforts to create characters. Outwardly, Robot, the blind man, is the one who needs help, because he has physical defect. However, when I finish the reading, I realize that the host is the one who gets help in the end. He doesn't like his job, doesn't like to communicate with his wife. He got prejudice for things around him such as the blind man. He is numb for the things around him and is not passionate about new stuff. Even though Robot has physical limitation, he has free mind. He is always interested in learning new stuff. He tries his best to live a colorful life, even though he can not see even black and white. Comparing to Robot, the host has mental defect. However, by drawing the cathedral, the host stimulates his own imagination. Now, with the help of Robot , he can feel the beauty of the outer world. It's interesting that when you close one of your sense such as closing your eyes, you can feel more.
