초록

Japanese novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro’s well-known novel Never Let Me Go has shown leading characters as well as peculiar and bizarre ones including clones, who have spent a few years at the boarding school in England during their childhood. On the surface it looks like a work which conjures up memories of their childhood they spent at Hailsham. It is almost safe to say that the memories are as pleasant as utopia. But in truth Halisham is an institution which breeds up the clones that furnishes human beings with the bio-technological slaves. The protagonists are nothing but homo sacer that are bound to determine whether to donate their organs or choose death. Hailsham gives an education on humanities, which has a tendency to support capitalism with an intention of persuading them to accept death. It is ironic that the education has not only caused them to worry about their bare lives but to question the values of being human. In conclusion this critical review will explain the fact that the clones are bound to fight against the illusions. Halisham has inculcated in their minds, and find out the world of Halisham is nothing but that of dystopia. In addition, it will also inquire into the force of life and art found in the world of dystopia.

Abstract

Japanese novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro’s well-known novel Never Let Me Go has shown leading characters as well as peculiar and bizarre ones including clones, who have spent a few years at the boarding school in England during their childhood. On the surface it looks like a work which conjures up memories of their childhood they spent at Hailsham. It is almost safe to say that the memories are as pleasant as utopia. But in truth Halisham is an institution which breeds up the clones that furnishes human beings with the bio-technological slaves. The protagonists are nothing but homo sacer that are bound to determine whether to donate their organs or choose death. Hailsham gives an education on humanities, which has a tendency to support capitalism with an intention of persuading them to accept death. It is ironic that the education has not only caused them to worry about their bare lives but to question the values of being human. In conclusion this critical review will explain the fact that the clones are bound to fight against the illusions. Halisham has inculcated in their minds, and find out the world of Halisham is nothing but that of dystopia. In addition, it will also inquire into the force of life and art found in the world of dystopia.
