Abstract:
Authors and poets from times immemorial have envisaged literature as a product of nature. It wouldn’t be wrong in any way to say, inclusion of nature in literature has profoundly enhanced the hues of human emotions and nuances of complexities that literature has always aimed to convey. Kazuo Ishiguro who is well acclaimed for his creation of introspective characters that are embroiled in moral turpitude earnestly endeavour to intricately explore memory and their forgotten roots; even finds himself unable to cut off from the influence of nature in his works. A close scrutiny of his work would reveal the presence of landscapes, weather and natural cycles in his works are not mere incidental, they exert influence on his characters contributing to their fleeting emotional upheavals and also to the thematic resonance of his stories at the same time. This paper seeks to explore the multifaceted role of nature in Ishiguro’s novel by examining how it functions as a mirror for human emotion, a repository of memory, and a vehicle for existential reflection. By analysing key works such as The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, The Buried Giant, and Klara and the Sun, the study will highlight how Ishiguro’s nuanced portrayal of the natural world enriches his exploration of themes such as identity, loss, and the passage of time. Drawing on literary theory, eco-criticism, and close textual analysis, this research will reveal how Ishiguro’s vision of nature is as intricate and layered as his storytelling, offering insights into both his characters and the broader human condition.
