Cultural Values in The Left Hand of Darkness, The Fellowship of the Rin

Molding of Cultural Values Through Environment in The Left Hand of Darkness, The Fellowship of the Ring, and Dune   â Ursuala K. LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness was composed after J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring and Frank Herbert's Dune. One of the most intriguing examinations between the three books is the manner by which the writers treat the issue of diverse misconceptions. Each of the three works contain numerous occurrences where individuals of one race or planet experience individuals of an alternate race or from an alternate planet. Tolkien treats this issue in a 'specisitc' or physiological way. The social misconceptions and conflicts that emerge in The Fellowship of the Ring are because of the contrasting physiology of the characters. Herbert manages social false impressions in an ecological way. In Herbert's reality, social qualities rely less upon which species a character have a place with (on the grounds that all characters appear to be generally human) and rather rely upon ecological factors. In The Left Hand of Darkness, LeGuin consolidates the two methodologies. The social misconceptions between Genly Ai and Gethenians are expected both to contrast in physiology and distinctive social qualities engraved by ecological elements .  â â â â Tolkien's physiological methodology is best observed by inspecting the hobbits demeanor towards the outside world. The hobbits are dubious of, and by and large don't comprehend, non-Hobbits. This can be seen by the Shire's consistent doubt of Bilbo's past experiences. The mill operator Sandyman remarks on Bilbo's undertakings: Mythical beings and Dragons! I says to him. Cabbages and potatoes are better for me and you. Try not to go getting stirred up in the matter of your betters, or you'll land in a difficult situation as well... ...iologically not quite the same as the Gethenians and originates from a planet with a very surprising condition. Both of these components lead to various mistaken assumptions in LeGuin's tale. The distinction in the three creators approaches might be found in the discussion among hereditary qualities and condition might be the more extensive issue. Tolkien appears to take the hereditary qualities side, Herbert takes the natural side, and LeGuin, being the little girl of an anthropologist, understands that both hereditary qualities and condition decide social qualities. These qualities frequently collide, and when they do, misinterpretations and mistaken assumptions are nearly inevitable.â â â â  â â Works Cited Herbert, Frank.
