* While I'm not repelled by its political views, I agree with those on this site that look at ''[[TrilogyCreep Tehanu]]'' as CanonDisContinuity compared to the original trilogy. However, it recently occurred to me that given that she was the one who described the "Mrs. Brown problem" in the Website/TurkeyCityLexicon, Le Guin may have had a subtler message than extreme feminism. In a typical fantasy book (which the first three ''Earthsea'' novels kind of are), protagonists have magic powers or are otherwise special. Middle-aged housewife Tenar and de-powered Ged are out-of-the-loop in this respect, and the book can be seen in this way as a {{Deconstruction}} of how a fantasy world is for the "little people."-{{Jordan}}
* Why is Ged's usename 'Sparrowhawk'? Because A) he's a wizard and B) a sparrowhawk is a kind of bird of prey - as is a ''Myth/{{Merlin}}''. - {{Tropers/Azvolrien}}
