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 way the writers treat the issue of culturally diverse false impressions. Every one 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 false impressions and conflicts that emerge in The Fellowship of the Ring are because of the varying physiology of the characters. Herbert manages social mistaken assumptions in an ecological way. In Herbert's reality, social qualities rely less upon which species a character have a place with (in light of the fact that all characters appear to be generally human) and rather rely upon natural factors. In The Left Hand of Darkness, LeGuin joins the two methodolo gies. The social false impressions between Genly Ai and Gethenians are expected both to distinction in physiology and diverse social qualities engraved by natural components .  â â â â Tolkien's physiological methodology is best observed by looking at the hobbits demeanor towards the outside world. The hobbits are dubious of, and for the most part 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 people 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 tough situation as well... ...iologically unique in relation to 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 ecological 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.
