Funny that while Charlie would rather do anything than make the decisions Fiona’s had to, her “special circle of hell” is trying to talk to and convince other people. She prefers to decide from a lofty height, no matter how difficult the decision, than be with others #laylit18
Fiona says in her judgment what a difficult decision Adam’s case was, but she is unburdened by it. Her walk home from work after determining his life or death is “relatively happy”. She must really mean it when she says that nothing matters #laylit18
Adam’s response to the idea of forced transfusion, “I’d think My Lady was an interfering busybody” is a weak response, definitely not the one you would expect of someone who is having his most deeply held religious beliefs threatened. I think there’s some doubt in him #laylit18
Fiona sees the importance of the cat that stands its ground to Adam’s situation. Ironically, however, she is unable to stand her own ground with Jack #laylit18
Fiona is one of England’s most respected judges, but even she fears the judgement of being a woman without a husband. The patriarchy is powerful #laylit18
The upset and distraught brought about by Jack’s propsosal of an open relationship is interesting to me. They’re relatively common among gay couples, but they seem to be at best taboo and at worst unthinkable among straight couples #laylit18
Kathy is eventually forced to sadly resign to her fate of being forced to give up her organs for others in Never Let Me Go, just like I am sadly resigned to taking my finals #laylit18
@ZoeVallejo3 @biancles1234 I think that Sybil also shows the ugly side of the dream of dancing with a white woman (and I think this dream is representing of being accepted in white society) It may seem glamorous, but Sybil shows herself to be a messy, sad drunk. Far from an ideal partner #laylit18
Never Let Me Go had a very interesting take on cloning and dystopia. The typical Hunger Games/Divergent dystopia is so played out and boring but NLMG presents cloning and the atrocities of that world as normal and everyday. Making such horrible things feel...
@jazzageblues The Sun Also Rises !! everybody (Bret and Jake in particular) spend all their money on alcohol and lavish parties and trips so they don't actually have to spend their free time thinking about their hopes, dreams, fears, past, etc #laylit18
@bibombshell14 Definitely agree, the use of structure is great. I think the rigid structure reflects how Bishop is trying to bring order her to her own life by taking her loss and attempting to make it into an asset #laylit18
@biancles1234 I agree with you, but I think this symbol also has a lot to do with how whites actively try to cover up and destroy black culture, as the doctors in the factory hospital did the to the narrator #laylit18
Never Let Me Go establishes a colonial relationship between the clones and humans. Although they are both of British nationality, the clones exist to be subjugated by the humans #laylit18
