Abstract:
Nobel Prize winner contemporary British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro
is one of the most remarkable figures in British and world literature.
His notable works include not only novels but also variety of film
scripts. The most famous fictions by Ishiguro include: “The Remains
of the Day”, “When We were Orphans”, “Never Let Me Go”, “Klara and
Sun” etc.
The goal of my paper is to study Ishiguro’s one of the well-known
and popular novel “Never Let Me Go” (2005) from philosophical and
socio-political standpoints, to learn interpretation of science and arts, as well as of love and sexuality; and analyze the author’s relation
to Posthumanism. We can easily say that this fiction gave new
dimension to the problem of ethics and identity of human clonning
in the new millennium’s British literature. For this purpose, I try to
discuss the novel in three directions:
1. Identity and reality of clones;
2. Ishiguro’s interpretation of Plato’s Cave;
3. Fate of humans as biblical clones in the era of technology.
