Abstract

Im, Eunyoung. ¡°The Ontological Condition and Memory: A Study of Ishiguro¡¯s When We Were Orphans.¡± Studies in English Language & Literature 47.2 (2021): 129-150. This article focuses on narrator¡¯s [Christopher Banks¡¯] ontological condition of an orphan controls his perceiving and interpreting the incidences around the world in When We Were Orphans. Under his ontological condition, Christopher fabricates an alternative narrative of a simple and cohesive fantasy concealing the ugly reality of his parents and British imperialism. On top of that, Christopher¡¯s dual identities as an orphan and a detective force him to pursue his crucial mission, rescuing his lost parents and the world in jeopardy. However, he fails to solve the matter in hand because of his parochial world-view and the absence of insight as a detective. As the reality emerges and his fantasy narrative is disrupted, so is the imperialistic idealism. With this parallel in mind, this paper will shed the light on the hidden reality behind the fantasy narrative. (Chonbuk National University)
