Cathedral by Raymond Carver

The narrorator, the husband has become uncomfortable with his wife and her visitor she invited over. The husband also is jealous of his wife as well. He isnt satisfied with his work, and doesnt want to make small talk with the blind visitor. He would rather sit back, keep to himself and observe everything and everyone in the household. He feels left out of his wife's part of life when she had begin to know the blind man, the visitor. He feels alienated, lonely, and unable to communicate with his wife. Overall he is a man who needs help and he needs to talk to his wife about his feelings that have to do with her previous life without him. If he doesnt get any help he probably will end up hurting himself, his wife or both at the same time somehow. When the blind man assists the husband in drawing he still didnt feel confident as of yet.
