We analyzed epiphany as a catalyst for character development in the story"The Cathedral". Joshua had handed in an essay on the story which we reviewed as he had difficulty in gleaning the story's theme and irony that illustrates how a blind man teaches a sighted man how to "see" or at least experience faith or God. We first located textual evidence evidencing the main character's initial hostility toward the blind man followed by exploring the event or epiphany that changes the man's character and enables him to "see" only with his eyes closed.. Joshua will rewrite his essay for homework based on class instruction.
