If this sounds familiar, you’re not the first to note it. Regarding the story of Ged in A Wizard of Earthsea, Le Guin didn’t say that J.K. Rowling “ripped me off” in her Harry Potter series, but felt that Rowling should have been “ more gracious about her predecessors”. In the Earthsea series, we are introduced to the complex responsibilities of becoming an adult, and asked to consider the values of life and the nature of death. It’s heavy, but significant and humanly realistic reading for a teenager. Le Guin was fiercely protective and supportive of other authors. In 1973, she made a humorous critique of the problems faced by writers trying to make their worlds fantastical and strange in From Elfland to Poughkeepsie, encouraging and emphasising the importance of appropriate style. The title of the story is significant because it refers to the perfect society that is Omelas, and the people who choose to walk away from it after discovering the. Style is something Le Guin seemed to be able to master effortlessly and consistently. Le Guins short story 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,' the author presents a society that appears to be a Utopian ideal but is built on the suffering of one child. The city of Omelas as a place, creates multiple spaces in accordance with the individuals and their perceptions about their surroundings. I consider her short story Semley’s Necklace – first published in 1964 and later included in The Wind’s Twelve Quarters – to be the finest of its kind in fantasy writing, its crystalline prose equal to Semley’s tragic fate. This paper explores the theme of utopia and dystopia in Ursula Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. Le Guin maintained an interest in encouraging writers and sharing her art.
