Scene Summary and Context
In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go, the theme of memory plays a crucial role in shaping the characters’ identities and understanding of their world. The story is set in a dystopian society where clones are created for organ donation, and the narrative is told through the reflections of Kathy, one of the clones. As Kathy recalls her childhood memories at Hailsham, a mysterious school, she reflects on her relationships, dreams, and the haunting knowledge of her future. The novel explores how memories both comfort and burden the characters, revealing the importance of the past in constructing personal identity. Phrases like 'lost time' and 'fading photographs' underscore the fragile nature of memory. The story emphasizes that memories are subjective, often intertwined with emotion and loss, shaping how characters perceive their existence and mortality.
