He likes to drink scotch and smoke marijuana. He likes to make jokes about blind people. When he gets jealous he can turn into a mean person. The husband is very focused on his wife but is not really happy in his marriage. He is a jealous husband and that is a sign of a unhealthy relationship. He is jealous when Robert comes over because he feels like Robert and the wife have had more of a connection than her and him.]]> 2017-02-27 20:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/del8942/axfe3wxrnpbm/wish/156564468 del8942 https://padlet.com/del8942/axfe3wxrnpbm/wish/156860272 Robert in the story is a very compassionate man who truly listens to other people, which helps him to "see" people better than he could with his eyes. His wife died and wanted to have some company with someone, since the narrators wife and Robert have had a history with each other. The narrators wife took care of him for 10 years and Robert feels safe with her. The important thing about Robert isn't that he's blind, but rather that he's a person who works with what he has to create the best life he can for himself.]]> 2017-02-28 20:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/del8942/axfe3wxrnpbm/wish/156860272 del8942 https://padlet.com/del8942/axfe3wxrnpbm/wish/156863875 The wife has kindness, sincerity, and openness. She sleeps through much of the story. Her journey in the story is similar to her husbands. She has assumptions about her husband, similar to those he has about Robert. She doesn't understand that he's jealous, and she assumes he's going to be mean to Robert. She is trying so hard to make Robert feel comfortable, she's forgetting about her husband's comfort. Throwing a potato on the floor when she's frustrated with her husband there's some anger there that extends past this single night. Since she's taking her anger at the narrator out on an innocent potato, the moment also suggests that, like him, she's having trouble positively communicating her feelings and needs.]]> 2017-02-28 20:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/del8942/axfe3wxrnpbm/wish/156863875
