Blindness 66-69

The narrator shows the despair felt by the internees in the ward, and shows how the loss of eyesight complicates life itself but also makes people who were able to see before, feel the after effects of losing their eyes. It’s sort of poetic how the eye doctor goes blind because it will probably make the doctor himself give up hope on a cure. Because of this, it’s more likely that other people might also give up hope for a cure as well. The cure is also shown to not be a priority and the fact lies that rather than saving the blind, the government has chosen to forsake them for then betterment of the rest of society.
