Is is beginning to look like Orgoreyn is not as perfect as we assumed after all. There seem to be so many factions, rules, and regulations and hardly anything is really how it appears. The diner conversation made this very apparent. Everyone seems to be working for their own personal motives and nobody seems to be genuinely working for the good of the domain. Genly somewhat realizes this when he says on pg 147:
" and yet each of them lacked some quality, some dimension of being; and they failed to convince. They were not quite solid. "
This seems to complicate Genly's job significantly because now he is being used as a political tool and could very easily attract enemies. I would be very scared if I were in his position ( although I probably would not have taken the job in the first place). HE is getting too involved with the affairs of Gethen and should remain neutral and stick to his task.
