Never Let Me Go 19

"Tommy and I couldn't quite believe that was the end of it." pg. 265

In this chapter, I feel so sorry for Kathy and Tommy. I just knew disappointment was coming but didn't want it to be true. I feel like all their hopes and dreams had just been crushed. As sad as this chapter is, many of my questions were answered.  The mystique of Madame and the Gallery is finally clear now. I think I was kind of on the right track of thinking. Madame was on the side of the students and she did take the art for their benefit. This chapter also reminded me a lot of Brave New World. The society discriminates against the clones without knowing much about them. The clones were treated the same way as the Epsilons. In Never Let Me Go, normal people avoid the clones and ignore how they are treated. They close their eyes to the cruelty the clones are put through and neglect to recognize what they sacrifice for them. The Alphas in Brave New World do the same thing to the Epsilons. The Alphas never acknowledge the work that the Epsilons do for them. In both books, the "normal" people take advantage of the "outcasts" or the inferior people.
