    Anne and William Hutchinson were among 14,000 Puritans who fled England during the “Great Migration” of the 1630s in search of religious refuge. They wanted a place to practice “true” Christianity, contrary to their idea of the blasphemous practices of the Church of England. The colony of Massachusetts Bay was built to restore proper moral and religious practices for the sake of keeping the community holy and, in turn, in God’s favor. Anne Hutchinson devoted her life to being an extraordinary member of the Puritan church, even if it meant stepping on the toes of leaders to express her ideas. This behavior was unacceptable in the Massachusetts Bay colony and Anne was put on trial in front of the General Court, leading to her excommunication.…

    While the founders of Hailsham feel it to be important for the clones to be able to represent themselves artistically so that their humanity can be recognised by others, it is just as crucial for the clones to recognise their humanity themselves. Miss Lucy suggests to Tommy that he should start putting more effort into his artwork because, ‘You’ll get a lot from it, just for yourself’ (Ishiguro 2010, 106). In order to see themselves as human, and as having the kind of value we bestow upon the human, the clones must give their lives meaning in the same fashion as the non-cloned humans: through representation. Kerby explains that artistic representation is a particularly human act, and that an exterior rendering of an interior process relays…

    The importance Irene gave to ‘passing’ and maintaining her social class had already forced her to suppress her so called feelings for Clare, but had also allowed Larsen to leave it up to her audience to decide whether Irene’s paranoid behaviour and suspicions (of Clare betraying their friendship) were a result of Irene’s confused feelings over Clare or the feelings of jealousy which developed from Clare’s proximity to Brian. This paranoid behaviour had resulted into a psychological turmoil in Irene’s life, where she had allowed herself to believe that Clare and Brian were sharing an illegitimate relationship. In order to support her claim, Larsen, using Irene’s point of view as her getaway, provides sufficient information to discuss how the institution…
