Abstract

Never Let Me Go deals with the scientific details and the concepts related to the biomedical sciences. The narrative structure is totally differing as it deals with reproduction and cloning. The complications in the life of clones are persecuted through the scenes of artworks and by their ways of production. In the novel Hailsham is a good boarding school especially for clones. The characters in the novel feel very fortunate for residing at this school. Kazuo Ishiguro presents the different behaviour of the characters and their emotional traumas. In the institute the clones are not allowed to possess any things of their choice. They undergo hypocritical treatment. Thus Ishiguro explores how clones can be treated in a good manner.
