Quote #4

Imagine a woman who could never see herself as she was seen in the eyes of her loved one. (1.15)

Even though these lines are part of the narrator's most bitter thoughts, there is some truth in them. We would never agree that the woman's value is in any way diminished because Robert can't see her. Rather, we suggest that our realities are constructed around both what we see and how we think we are being seen.

Quote #5

My eyes were still closed. (3.40)

In the final moments of the story the narrator sees reality in a new way, by giving up his belief that sight is the most important way to process and create reality.
