Estive o livro todo a tentar formular para que defeito humano é que a cegueira era uma analogia (ou metáfora, não sei bem a diferença) e porque é que só uma personagem não cegou, mas não consegui chegar a nenhuma conclusão.

Now for what pissed me off and why I dont rate the book higher.
I'm still not on board with the comments that are like "it's a dystopia, bad shit happens". It reminds me of how the game of thrones show uses rape for their women characters' development, and it being justified by "well it's fantasy, medieval inspired, so of course it would happen". (Btw : YEAH. AND ? THERE ARE ALSO FUCKING DRAGONS IN THE SHOW. ARE WE BLAMING THAT ON HISTORICAL ACCURACY TOO, JOSH). Same here : yes it's a dystopia, yes it can be, as most dystopias are, a critic of modern society, and yes, rape is not exclusive to reality. But seriously ? You're telling me you asked yourself "what would happen if we all went blind" and one of the answer you come up with is gang rape ? Really ? I'm not asking for a lovey dovey scenario, or exclusively "solidarity, community, mutual aid and love conquers all" kind of stories. But I'll just say this. To have come up with gang rape as one of the answer AND one you chose to put exactly at the core of your book, just shows a deep lack of imagination, even if it's used as a comment on human morality.
