WAVE 1
Genly has such ahard time seeing Gethenians as they see themselves. Sometimes he kind of forgets that theyr’e not human, but other times he’s really weirded out by them. Through out the book he starts to understand things more and he starts to kind of relate to them in certain ways. Genly’s attitudes make him seem like a jerk, but almost every one on earth acts like this. He is sexist on a planet that has no genders which is hard for him because sometimes he tries to figure out their gender, or even make one for them when he does’nt need to and can’t really do that.
I do think it is hard for Genly to understand the people of winter. He so badly wants to think of the people of winter through Earths standards but he cant. He cant seem to grasp this but he cant think of them as people of Earth. He must think of them as people of Winter. I think this is his biggest down fall.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it is hard for Genly to understand the people on winter. I think that his biggest problem is that he can't treat people on Winter the same way he treats them on earth. That's probably why he is so confused in certain situations ans doesn't know what to do.
