Without realizing it, she has created a struggle between a friend she can confide in but cannot love as a husband and a husband she can love as such, but in whom she cannot trust. The saddest part of the story, and the one that ultimately shows the consequences of the woman's ineptitude, is the final scene. Waking from a stoned sleep, she finds her blind man, her confidant, sharing a close conversation with her husband, her greatest desire, as they design a cathedral together. She clearly shows her jealousy when she exclaims, “What are you doing? Tell me, I want to know… What’s happening? like a child crying to be heard (Carver 193). Her desperate tone comes from having to watch her heart's greatest desire happen before her eyes, but from the side. She desperately wants to be part of the relationship that forms between her husband and the blind man, but she cannot. Once again she falls behind, this time spiritually as her husband experiences a revelation, while she remains in the dark. The husband realizes the importance of letting people “in” into his life through the words of the blind man: “Put people in now.” What is a cathedral without people,” but not the woman (193). Obsessed with taking part in their conversation, she completely disregards the relevance of the topic.
