Le Guin/Left Hand of Darkness

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 7 page essay that analyzes the main themes from Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, a science fiction novel. The structure of the novel follows the cognitive adaptations of each of the two main characters as they learn to alter and adapt their communication skills in light of the other's perspective. In so doing, Le Guin provides profound insight not only into the essence of communication, but also into how human perspective is integrally tied to gender concerns, conceptualizations of the Other, and the human conceptualization of love.
