Abstract
This research will analyse the relationship between the human and the Posthuman, as portrayed in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun. It will analyse through close reading how Ishiguro presents these interactions, and what moral questions can be inferred from them. The research will apply the lenses of various ethical trends, such as Deontology, Consequentialism, and Virtue Ethics. Through analysing the relationship between the human and the Posthuman in this framework, the research will attempt to find an answer to the research question; how does Kazuo Ishiguro portray the relationship between the human and the Posthuman, and the moral questions that emerge from that, in the novels Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun?
