I find the lack of names a critical piece to story. It narrows the focus down to what Carver wants the readers to focus on, and skips over the unnecessary aesthetic qualities many of us rely too heavily upon. The most important part of the story is centered on human interaction. Although some of us found his lesson to be incredibly generic, Carver still has an interesting idea. By removing concrete things humans use to judge, such as names, he allows the characters to teach us that focusing on the personality builds relationships. Names lead us to quick, prejudicial conclusions, one that the narrator was led to when his wife told him the name of Robert's ex-wife: "She'd told me a little about the blind man's wife. Her name was Beulah. Beulah! That's the name for a colored woman. 'Was his wife a negro?' I asked" (101). By the end of the story, Robert's ultimately positive outlook on life begins to rub off on the narrator, who was, at first, extremely critical of his wife for having a friend like him. The relationship grows between Robert and the narrator when Robert starts forcing the narrator to see life as he does. New perspectives were offered to the narrator once he gave in and stopped judging Robert based off his disability. The unknown can teach more than the tangible items we can immediately judge.
