The Narcissist
The Narcissist explores the idea of negligence through the motif of blindness. Although one character is literally blind, metaphorically, both characters are as well. The boy is blind to his sister’s aid; He is so focused on regaining his eyesight that he pushes everyone else away – even if they are trying to help. The girl, however, is also blind.
