Yes, the novel Blindness portrays blind people as uncivilized people.
It was an assigned reading for summer assignment for my AP Literature 
class. We had 5 or 6 journal topics for the summer then in class 
discussion and the activity I described previously.
On the surface level, I didn't like the book much either but it's 
rather symbolically meaningful. It portrays human society and instinct.
It's not necessarily wrong but we shouldn't think such a book is 
horrible just because the author illustrated blindness as some terrible 
thing.
What I enjoyed the most about the book was how I was able to contribute 
to the class discussions and talk about my perspective.
