The character that caught my attention the most out of all the short readings this week was the narrator in the Raymond Carver story “Cathedral”. He is a very flat character; you are not told much about him. There is no physical description of what he looks like, how he is dressed. All of is characteristics are inferred from the reading. Even though he is a flat character I found his to be very dynamic. His development is such a short time (one night) was well done. His development was not a drastic live changing development but a gradual progression.

When it comes to his social support systems, of course he is going to choose a peer group in which he feels more accepted.

Subsequently, Rochester asked for Jane to marry him, which seemed like a cruel joke because Jane, still thinking Rochester was going to marry Blanche, thought he was mocking Jane because of the way she had confessed her love for him. Little did Jane know, Rochester fabricated the marriage with Blanche to try and find out Jane’s true feelings for him. That being said, Jane’s outburst is understandable. She thought that Rochester was playing with her emotions as if she could not feel, like an “automaton”, when in reality he was testing her emotions to see if she cares

It seemed like interpersonal stress was affecting everyone’s life and was affecting the way the family communicated with one another.
