In "The Country of the Blind," Nunez attempts to explain to the villagers where he is from. When he says, "where the city passes out of sight," the villagers are perplexed about the word "sight." The villagers then attempt to lead him and Nunez says, "I can see." Again, they repeat the word "see" and seem to be confused by his use of an unknown word. As they use their hands to feel his features, one of the villagers describes Nunez as, "rough he is as the rocks that begot him."
Unfortunately, Nunez does not make a positive impression on the villagers. While they identify him as a man, they describe Nunez as having imperfect senses and words with no meaning. A boy mocks him and villagers refer to him as, "newly formed." Nunez condescendingly believes that his ability to see makes him superior. According to him, "In the Country of the Blind the One-Eyed Man is King." However, it is Nunez that becomes the student. After attempting to escape, the people in the village pity him and begin to teach him their ways. Eventually, Nunez becomes a "citizen of the Country of the Blind."
