It’s funny because I took the blindness disease to be a metaphor for what the author perceived as those things that set us apart from each other, that made us fear each other and ostracize certain groups. I did not take it literally at all. It did not seem to me that if the people had remained blind it would have been the end of the world. It was the way they were treated and the fact that their “blindness” seemed to justify that treatment that was the tragedy. Just another point of view. And I should say I did not see the movie, but only read the book.

Ok, so I finished the book and it is true, the blindness virus is like the flu, and it clears up miraculously and then supposedly, everything is right with the world again. It leaves you to assume that if everyone had stayed blind, it would have been the end of the world! At least some of the poeple were starting to show capabilities, but only because they were with the one person who could still see left in the world. I have not yet seen the movie, but if it is true to the book as they say it is, I don’t think it worth seeing.
