Cold
Throughout the novel, Genly Ai seems to become more separated from the people of Gethen. His size makes him stand out in Gethen, and it makes him feel alone. He does not see any others who are like him. The constant cold of the planet does not help either. The people of Gethen have been used to the cold weather of the planet, while Genly is still struggling to adjust to the cold harsh climate. As I read on Genly continues to have increasingly more differences between Gethenians and himself. This is leading him to feel alone and more isolated.

If Genly doesn't want to feel lonely he should make some friends.
ReplyDeleteIf I were on a planet where I had felt alienated, I would try to adjust to their culture and lifestyle, making it seem that I am one of them before letting them know that I am not.
