Isolation in Left Hand of Darkness
Genly is kind of an outsider so far, which makes sense, he is from another planet. This makes him stick out in this world as he is not suited for the harsh climate of Gethen, therefore hampering him against making a real connection with the people. He is constantly cold and this leads to him being lonely as everyone else around him is able too stay warm, leading him to feel left out. Some other reasons he is left out is due to his height as well as him atually having a set gender in this world of neutral people.

Him being different is a form of isolation itself. But by being alone with any other real people he can talk ti, it makes him, like you said, feeling left out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree as all of these are reasons that he feels isolated sometimes ! I would too, if I were in his shoes.
