Kathy imagines that it's a mother who holds her baby tightly."Baby, baby, never let me go" (Ishiguro 46).

For Kathy, the tape embodies her innocence at Hailsham, and her desire for physical and emotional connection with other people. while For Tommy, the tape embodies this long lost emotional connection—Tommy wants desperately for Kathy to find the tape again in Norfolk. . And for Madame, the tape recalls the cruelty of the world for clones whom she has tried to protect but whose lives are defined entirely by their cruel purpose as organ donors for "real" people. “ Well . . . I really wanted to find it [the cassette tape] for you.

And here we are!”(Ishiguro

Theme: Kathy is too caught up in John mystery’s to let him go, as she feels almost a fatal attraction to them and she gets satisfaction from being involved with his tricks.

The science which leads to the initialisation of the idea of creating organ donors which will contribute to the later life of those who stand higher in the society’s capitalistic structure can be said to have impacted the overall concept of a social order through the obstruction of proceeding in what is morally right as a result of deeming cloning perfectly acceptable. However, another way to interpret Ishiguro’s ideologies behind social order in Never Let Me Go can be through the lack of surprise at the ways in which Kathy’s society is run. The fact that science was powerful enough to normalise the concept of organ donation in a manner which is disadvantageous for the donors in regards to a chance at a normal life comes alongside the fact that there is very little desire to rebel on behalf of the donors. Through this, it can be deduced that science and its influence can completely overpower the idea of self righteousness and own will, enforcing conformity to the values put upon by a corrupt society, ultimately ensuing social

Kathy is the main character that fails to be comfortable, she had to suppress her sadness and overall appear to be happy on the outside in order to keep her relationship with John sustainable. She lives every single day faking a smile and she has no one to outlet to due to the fact that they are in the middle of nowhere with “no towns or people nearby.” O’Brien uses the relationship and Kathy’s life to strengthen his theme and to communicate it to the reader in an understandable example. This suppression of emotion Kathy endures builds up and lead to a tipping point which occurs in the end of the novel when Kathy essentially disappears. The disappearance of Kathy contributes to his message because no one wants to live a life along the lines of Kathys, the reader is able to understand the horrific consequences of choosing the wrong people to surround yourself with and that is what O’Brien wants the reader to take

Sensing the likelihood of making a pile of cash, Tiffany dramatically changed her perspective by replying rapidly, “If that’s what you and the boys’ want…” She saw their eyes light up with the prospect of gaining money for their collective suffering, and accordingly she couldn’t refute their claims by saying ‘no’. That’s why, she added compassionately, “Far be it from me to interfere in your decision, so I won’t stand in your

Ishiguro’s critique of empathetic engagement in relation to a humanising education modulates into questioning the concept of empathy itself. In Never Let Me Go, the aporia presented in the clones’ understanding of their role in the world in comparison to the authorities ultimately frustrates opportunities for empathy. Madame’s witnessing of the young Kathy dancing with a pillow to the Judy Bridgewater song, Never Let Me Go, has been interpreted by Marvin Mirsky as providing a ‘replica’ of a baby, which is both a compensation for her own motherless state and her future infertility (2006, pp. 628-30). Madame’s empathy for Kathy is seen in Kathy’s realisation that Madame is watching the scene “...and the odd thing was she was crying. It might have even been one of her sobs that had come through the

In Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro the major themes in this book is hope, and free will. Hope plays as a symbol and feeling of freedom for the characters. Their curiosity is what causes their confidence to one day be free, but then is let down when having to face the truth that their life is set for them and that they must accept it. Free will is shown that clones are unable to change their fates as organ donors, but their lack of free will affects many other elements of their lives as well. For example, Ruth never achieves her dream of working in an office, and Kathy gets precious little time with Tommy. Ishiguro is ambiguous about where this lack of free will comes from because Ruth never tries to work in an
