He is very jealous of Robert because he has a ten- year-long friendship with his wife. The protagonist does not have sympathy on handicap people. He makes jokes about ability of blind people sometime. When Robert comes their home, he tries to embrace Robert by asking which side of the train he sat on because the scenery is better on one side.
