What does it mean “to see”? What does it mean “to be blind”?
Who sees? According to whom? According to what?
In the land of the blind, what should the one who sees do? Should she/he lead the crowd, take action when people mess things up, or should she/he let the crowd figure things out for themselves?
Are the blind really blind or do they just avoid looking at the places that will make them see?
This book made me question all these things. It has pretty strong metaphors while telling its story. However, even if you don't care about the metaphors and all those questions above, it still has a pretty strong story to tell. That's a huge advantage for this book and its movie adaptation.
This was actually something I've watched and read long time ago but I wanted to write about it now.
