I do not know if we were right.
Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being shifgrethorless
But it was from the difference between us, not from the affinities and likenesses, but from the difference, that that love came: and it was itself the bridge, the only bridge, across what divided us.
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness
âhe (genly ai) should have gotten over his hesitations and fucked the alien (therem harth rem ir estraven)â -> I canât really get behind that reading, for several reasons
âhe (therem harth rem ir estraven) should have gotten over his hesitations and fucked the alien (genly ai)â -> thats true ð¯
I'm going to go ahead and integrate this into my belief system but could you elaborate regardless
Sure thing. The one who suggested that they should not have sex was Estraven.
âI must not touch you,â [Estraven] said, with extreme constraint; saying that he looked away.
I said, âI understand. I agree completely.â
(Chapter 18)
This sets up the situation so that the next move is Estravenâs. Therefore Estraven can certainly change his mind, but Genly canât prompt him. Genly canât say, âwell, but do you want to?â without coming across as rude (questioning someoneâs judgement is bad shifgrethor) or without opening himself up to probable rejectionâboth of which would make the dynamic awkward, which is the last thing you want 24 days into an 81 day survival situation where itâs just you and the other guy.
And sure they both have their own mental barriers, but I think Estravenâs are greater because heâs more divorced.
The real discourse in The Left Hand of Darkness is what you think the clothes look like. Do hiebs have sleeves? Do they look like tabards? When Genly and Estraven talk about leggings in Orgoreyn, are they like ye olde hose but made to keep snow out of your pants and boots? Are they a kind of overpant? I need someone to start a fistfight over what a knitfur is. I think it would be cool and sexy.
to be clear, i love the âdark, slow running carsâ and the winter jackets and the centuries old radios inlayed with silver and the corner red dwelling and all the things described in ways you accept but know, in the back of your mind, are probably Not At All what you would imagine them to beâwhen does a car stop being a car, when is an electric flute at the edge of its descriptionâGenly Ai describes his star ship and we know itâs a rocket of some sort of design and make, but imagine what you would imagine by just that descriptorâstar shipâif you didnât have any basis for thinking about rockets. And isnât that what weâre doing while reading this book too? In their lack of specificity, the descriptions gain so much more life, and I adore that.
but i also want to hear some screaming over whether the âknitâ and âfurâ in âknitfurâ are false friends or accurate descriptors, and how long shirts are worn, and whether they function also as underwear or not.
I think about this a *normal* amount of time. I have a whole Pinterest board with clothes similar to what I imagine them to be....
At some point Genly says that someone (himself?) was wearing a winter hieb with long sleeves so I imagined they have summer ones with short sleeves. And I think the hieb is like a medieval tunic that goes down to mid tights, in some sort of fleece or corduroy fabric, and the winter one is layered with fur inside. This is the piece of clothing I have clearer in my mind. Except I can't figure out where the pocket is.
Maybe knitfur is some kind of mohair? All fluffy and super soft and light? I dunno I just placed my part of the fight. So hope someone disagrees with me for op's sake.
And I can't for the love of me imagine the difference between Karhidish breeches and Orgoreyn leggins. I think breeches are more baggy while leggins are more tight all the way down...?
Okay, then shirts. Are shirts open in front with a lot of buttons? Or are they pulled on from above your head? And yes, I think they must have some sort of tee-shirt under shirts, but then sometimes Estraven wears only a shirt... Shirts confuse me, I never know how to draw them. Usually I imagine them a thick cotton fabric, they are pulled on like a t-shirt but also the collar opens a bit, and the collar is "korean style".
One problem: what goes between the shirt and the hieb? I imagine in summer nothing. In winter maybe a knitted sweater of some kind. What does it look like? Is this the knitfur piece, light and super warm or is it a heavy knitted piece? I think in the tent Genly keeps his on and Estraven takes it off and stays only with his shirt.
Second problem: what does the coat look like? I cannot imagine the coat. Is it longer or shorter than the hieb? Does it look like leather or does it look like a technical quilted jacket? They probably have both... What did they wear in Karhide? And on the ice?
Third problem: what kind of shoes do they wear? What kind of boots?

The inherent eroticism of crossing the ice together (having to survive a landscape beyond human survivability stripping away all pretensions, until my truest self can meet yours).
there's something in the left hand of darkness about how estraven and genly's perceptions are both massively influenced by concepts of shifgrethor and gender respectively, but both struggle to actually explain what they actually MEAN. estraven can provide only the literal definition of the word, genly just. babbles trying to describe a woman.
i dunno. something about societal structures feeling unyielding to those who are raised in them but get soft around the edges when confronted by the unfamiliar

Genly Ai and Estraven
huh?
