Introduction and Context
Scene Summary and Context Guide: In 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro, the story unfolds in a dystopian world where clones are raised for the purpose of organ donation. The narrative centers around Kathy, a clone who reflects on her life and the ethical implications surrounding her existence. The setting shifts between the childhood memories at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic boarding school, and the stark realities of the outside world. The novel explores themes of morality, human rights, and the ethics of scientific advancement.

Symbolism is evident in images like the deferral system, which represents hope and deception.
