The planet is depicted as a harsh and unforgiving place, where only the strong survive. The inhabitants of Gor live by a strict code of honor and loyalty, and the concepts of slavery and bondage are deeply ingrained in their society. One of the unique aspects of "Dancer of Gor" is Norman's use of language. He creates a unique vocabulary for the world of Gor, which adds to the immersive nature of the story.
