"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro

  The protagonist, Mr. Stevens is a man of dignity as a butler working for Lord Darlington. He is faithful to his master and never reveals his emotion in public. He strictly controls himself. He never criticizes his lord’s attitude which endangers Britain. Nearing the end of his life when he had limited remains of the day, he resolves to lead the rest of his life with bantering.   First, I felt tired of reading the book, for there was little dramatic development, but as I read it, I was interested in Mr. Stevens’s way of thinking. Ishiguro described his psychology well. Most of the story consists of the description of how he thinks. The description drives the readers to identify themselves with Mr. Stevens.
