The ethical dimension is relevant to the contextual circumstances surrounding each text. The main arguments I present are that each of Ishiguro's narrators are unreliable due to the suppression of painful memories relating to their past. Each subsequent chapter builds upon the ideas explored in the previous one, allowing me to provide links across Ishiguro's texts as the dissertation progresses. The main body of the dissertation is separated into three distinct chapters, one on each of the three novels. The introduction to this dissertation provides an outline of how these key themes are significant to the reader's understanding of the novels and offers an insight into reader-response theory, to which my understanding of the texts is indebted. I discuss the themes of memory, unreliability and ethics in relation to the three texts. The following dissertation focuses on An Artist of the Floating World, The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
