In the
LHoD, Genly Ai see everything different than Gethenians because he comes from a
world with gender, getting your choice in love, and not a dictatorship. He see
Gethenians as people who follow the rules and not try to get banish from their
country. When Genly first got to Karhide, he was confused about the whole
ceremony and how cold it was there. I think Genly attitude change when he
realized about the king and how he live in fear. When Genly heard that the king
lives and rule his nation with fear, he was pretty mad because Genly is trying
to have Karhide in their “NATO” life. Unfortunately, the king doesn’t even want
to be in “NATO” because the king doesn’t want monsters coming to his country
and “destroy” it. The king had an attitude with Genly about that, because Genly
had also told him about the traveling by light. So, the king was soooo turned
off by that, and just was like “Naaah bruhh, we cool on y’all”. I belive that
was a second attitude Genly had caught when he was there.
Genly had so many attitudes and different perspective on
certain stuff that was happening. Like, foretelling and going to see the
foretellers. Genly was happy to see them but had an exciting attitude
especially when he seen Faxe the Foreteller, he was amazed by that BEAUTY.
Another one, is Estraven leaving him, he was pissed off. Pisssseedddddd. I can
understand his feeling, because it’s his first friend and also the first person
to ever tell Genly about the life here. Genly felt as if, this is what he had
done and why didn’t he get banished.
Well agreed! Genly basically went through a learning experience, in which his attitudes and feelings change overtime whenever he senses or learns something. It is normal to be part of the learning process, and to get confused by other viewpoints because it condradicts to what was heard previously. It is also hard to agree upon a definite situation when hearing different things from other people. It would take a while then for Genly to recognize what the world is really into now.
ReplyDeleteThis is very accurate and straight forward from what i recognize by Genly. And also his perspective on the long , was the same as mind. At first, trying to figure out why was he ruling in fear but eventually realized , that maybe he has to. Maybe he is only going by how he feels and experiences that happen in his kingdom. Later on answers were revealed. To me as well as it was to Genly.
