Who knew he had it in him?

First off, i want to give estraven a big thumbs up! who knew that he cared enough to break into a prison, steal, lie, and fraud as several people just to save the envoy. Dame he is one smart guy. Or maybe those guards either didn't care or were really stupid.. Anyway after this chapter everything seems to fit more. And its easier to not suspect estraven of being up to no good. Today in class we were talking about chapter 13 and how genry got captured and drugged in the prison. While we were discussing it, some of the people in the group and either said they read the chapter 14 by mistake or read a head. i remember them telling us that tonight's chapter was going to be the climax of the story. After reading it, i agree with them.

One of the best parts in the story to me was on page 198-199 when estraven said: "yet you are. it is strange. i am the only man in all of gethen that has trusted you entirely, and i am the only man in gethen that you have refused to trust." It almost makes me think that estraven is hurt by the fact that when he can finally trust someone, he is not trusted back. It also seemed that estraven had always been interested in joining with the eukemen to the point that when he said nativism toward a country is hatred toward another country is a good point. you can't put a boundary on land and say that you hate it, cuz land really doesn't have a boundary. And in having Orgota establish a connection with the eukemen first then karhide would most likely follow. He seems to jsut want to advance the people that live on the world.
