The Architecture of Memory: Poetics, Self-Deception, And Social Influence in The Remains of The Day

This article analyzes the poetics of memory, self-deception, and social influence in Kazuo Ishigura's The Remains of the Day. The work shows not only through the inner psychological journey of the main character - Butler named Stevens, but also through poetic means how society's influence and class norms were formed in his life views. The article highlights Stevens's style of speech, the structure of time and space, symbols, landscapes, and self-awareness through key images, fragmentarity of memory, and reflections of social pressure in consciousness. The metaphor "remnants of the day" in the work expresses the experiences and regrets that occur at the last stage of life.
