Cathedrals During the medieval time period‚ peasants were affected by Gothic art‚ architecture‚ and music‚ because many peasants were illiterate. They could only learn about God’s word by symbols and hearing music.

Understanding the Darkness “Cathedral” teaches a closed minded man that you don’t have to see things to understand them. The narrator is the man in the story that has this life changing experience that opened him up to a whole new world of understanding.
