the character that I disliked most in the whole story was the man who helped the first blind man to get into his house. This person seemed son gentle, so kind and very helpful by helping this first blind man that came to be blind so suddenly, in the car, waiting for the green light and keep on going with his life. Finaly when they got home this helpful man offered himself to help him since there was no one at home. The blind man was greatful but he wouldnt let him enter the house. This gentleman was nothing but a thief. He stole the blind´s man car! Everyone pays for their acts and then he got blind. He tricked the blind man and now he pays with blindness. This is why I dislike this character

The character I like the most was the doctor's wife. At my eye she is the main character of the novel and the one that puts the interesting part in it. As a general description she is very kind, eventhough she doesn't know anybody in the hospital. Butthe best value she has and the one that is present in the entire novel is her courage, because many people would leave their parents alone because of their fear but she was always with her husband supporting him

This novel written by Jose Saramago has a lot of interesting characters. Each one behaves differently, but the one who´s personality surprised me the most was the doctor´s wife. She was different from everyone else. Most of the characters were selfish, specially the blind people who were isolated, they only thought about themselves, they always wanted the food for themselves and few of them tried to help others. The doctor´s wife was different, she sacrificed everything she had to go to a horrible place where she definitely suffered. Since the beginning we saw this attitude in her, when they told them that there were going to be people taking the doctor somewhere se didn't even know, she didn't think twice and immediately packed her husbands and her things. " You'll have to take me as well, I've just gone blind this very minute" pg. 36. The doctors wife lies to be with her husband becuase she cared about him and wanted to be with him helping him no matter what or where they went. This woman is a role model for me, she shows patience, kindness, compassion and all kinds of good qualities. Most of the people would have lost patience with the conditions that her and the blind people were living in, but she stayed calm and always trying to help people, she always did it cautiously so the blind wouldn't find out she could see. The doctors wife was always preoccupied for everyone, but specially her husband. "No, i won't leave you, shouted his wife, what do you want, to go stumbling around bumping into the furniture..." Pg 31.
Overall the doctors wife, who's name we never knew, was a woman of immense strength. She was mainly characterized for always having compassion with other and always helping the people who most needed it. Definitely a woman to follow. SOFIA ROSALES

The character that I like the most in the book Blindness was the doctors wife. I like her the most because, she would be like the black sheep in the society. She was the only one that could actually see and observe the things that where happening around her. Seeing everyone blind in a society must be really tough and no one understanding what you may feel or may think, because everyone is blind. I think it was really brave of her part trying to help others and even at the end of the book when everyone is in the city, where everything has being distroyed and she is the only one thats able to see that damage, people acting like wild animals looking for shelter and food. She also found herself in another position. The woman started to look into people for who they where, not just for what they looked like. She apreciated people from their inside. I find her very intresting and a woman you can look up too, like a role model.
