Abstract
The article focuses on Kazuo Ishiguro's third novel, "The Remains of the Day," examining the novel's use of hyperbole and simulation to explore themes such as the English class system and the concept of greatness, as depicted through the character of Stevens, a butler. Topics include the novel's portrayal of class distinctions, the impact of hyperbole on deeper reflection about societal systems, and Ishiguro's humorous depiction of the English sense of condescension.
