List of Blind People - in Fiction

In Fiction

  • Daredevil (Marvel Comics) - Blind "superhero."
  • Geordi La Forge was blind since birth but uses a VISOR and later ocular implants that allow him to see the electromagnetic spectrum. The character was created by Gene Roddenberry as a positive role model for the disabled.
  • Toph Bei Fong from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender was born blind, but uses her Earthbending abilities to sense vibrations and "see" things that are in contact with the earth. For this reason, she hates flying and sailing, as she lacks contact with the ground and is truly blind.
  • Tommy, the titular character of an album by The Who. His blindness, along with his deafness and muteness, are actually psychosomatic.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “... if we can imagine the art of fiction come alive and standing in our midst, she would undoubtedly bid us to break her and bully her, as well as honour and love her, for so her youth is renewed and her sovereignty assured.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “It is with fiction as with religion: it should present another world, and yet one to which we feel the tie.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
