Betrayal and Fidelity in The Left Hand of Darkness
Gender is a highly important aspect of Le Guin's novel, The Left Hand of Darkness. However, it is only important for the fact that it provides a means to demonstrate the duality between fidelity and betrayal in this novel. Other dualities exist throughout this work, which is the primary theme of this piece of literature.
