The constant cold of Gethen contributes to the theme of isolation and loneliness because in Gethen it is very cold and some of the humans on the planet are very lonely so they go through the cold by themeseleves. they dont really have the much on the planet people are all the sam so it equal to one. life on planet Earth when were at constant cold people look for others to keep them warm or sometimes isolated. Loneliness is hard for some people because hey need people around them to circulate them.I know for me that i can be by myself but not for long that because it is cold and you want that comfort around you. Gethen is a planet where the humans are used to it so they dont reallly care to much to be isolated. when in the story the sun comes out for just a little the getheanian freak out because there not used to the temp cooling down on them. so its kind of hard for them. life on our planet its like woah its to hot or to cold and people complain about it just like that. The theme is just that people depend on being with a group of people instead of being by themselves. The real question is do we really need to be depenedent on others or can we do it all by ourselves and contribute warmness by our own body heat.
