Genly Ai
Genly Ai has trouble seeing the Gethenian's as they see themselves because they have no gender. From the world he comes from he calls people he or she and the Gethenian's are neither he or she. His attitude about where he comes from reveals that he comes from a world similar to our world. Where the Gethanians come from they all are similar to one another and understand each othe where as Genly has trouble trying to see things the way they do. Even I had trouble trying to understand how you could be niether man not woman. Where Genly comes from it is normal to call someone he or she, but at Winter most of them are neither he or she. I think later on in the book he will eventually be able to accept and understand the the Gethanians live.

It's crazy how they have no gender identification but at the same time it's pretty cool because they aren't judged for who they are. It is confusing not being labeled but in reality I think that's the way it should be. But I do agree it was confusing and that Genly will understand later on!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be interesting living in a gender less society, definitely no judgement!
