- W2967747502 abstract "The use of pastoral motifs and the resultant “discourse” of a carefree, ideal world has a long literary history. However, there seems to be a relative slackening of the use of this genre in modern times that may attributed to an angst-ridden society living through an existential crisis of faith. Even if this genre has been used, the results have been very different and often shocking: “shocking” simply because an underlying theme of anti-pastoralism and even menace has been discerned. This article argues that a similar theme of anti-pastoralism and menace acts as a rude reminder in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go (2005). The novel concerns the growing up of three friends in the rural, pastoral settings of a fictional boarding school Hailsham that never tells them that they are genetically engineered clones who would be “harvested” as future organ donors. Thus the initially presented pastoral, ideal landscape of abundance and utopia becomes a veritable dystopia in the long run with scary results. This paper “revisits” this pastoral theme in the novel in two ways: first, it examines the use of this relatively lesser-used genre today; second, by revisiting the same, it re-examines and shows how the author suits it to his own advantages to depict the process of growing up as essentially anti-pastoral, anti-utopian, and hence dystopic." @default.
