The current plot, motif, and theme sections are all open to interpretation. The summary section is also more of a response than a summary. 130.101.162.84 ( talk) 14:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
EDIT REQUEST: I suggest we remove the sentence: 'With its publication Carver finally received the critical praise he had longed for.' Carver received much critical acclaim before Cathedral, and this suggests a dependence on critical acclaim that is reductive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chronotopian ( talk • contribs) 12:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
This short story by Carver is one of his most famous, if not his most famous. It is certainly one of his most well-known stories. It's also the title story of last major collection. Arguably could be given a High rating, but does not have the notability outside literature classes in the way "Lolita" or "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" does. Or if we stay with short stories, it may not have the notability of "The Most Dangerous Game" or "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" (for example).
