"Blindness" by Henry Green is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work presents a poignant and introspective exploration of the life of John Haye, who suddenly becomes blind after a tragic accident involving a stone thrown by a boy while he is on a train. The narrative delves deeply into John’s internal struggles as he grapples with his new reality, the relationship with his mother, and the societal expectations surrounding his disability. At the start of the book, John begins to document his thoughts in an informal diary, revealing his initial carefree life at Noat and his interactions with friends and fellow students. The tone shifts dramatically when he becomes aware of his blindness following the accident. The narrative captures his emotional turmoil, the burden of his mother's well-meaning but inadequate attempts at comfort, and the shift in dynamics as his once vibrant life is overshadowed by darkness and pain. John’s relationships with his family and friends begin to evolve as he navigates this new, challenging existence, indicating a deeper exploration of identity, loss, and adaptation throughout the novel.
