THE MEANING OF HUMANITY AND THE UNBEARABLE EXISTENCE AS THE OTHER IN KAZUO ISHIGURO’S NEVER LET ME GO – Hreceniuc (Cîrdei) Evelina-Iulia

The world delineated by Kazuo Ishiguro in Never Let Me Go determines the reader to question the way in which the human body is perceived in a world dominated by technology. The intoxicating presence of technology has made cloning possible, which leads to understanding the meaning of humanity differently by either attesting what we already know or reassessing new significances. This paper attempts to prove the way in which cloning places the individual in a non-human position – a position of otherness, which leads to a reconfiguration of the concept of humanity.
