AO3 for Kathy’s intro
Typical dystopian conventions of a main character which lacks agency and control and a higher power within society
analyse the fact it is ‘impossible’ to find Hailsham
reveals how its been hidden and concealed away intentionally which may depict society’s sense of shame for the cloning programme
analyse in the corner of a misty field
much like the cloning programme, Hailsham is shrouded in mystery which shows how society purposefully hides the clones away in the margins of society
analyse dark fringe of trees/poplace trees and windows were unnaturally high up
these images create a more ominous and foreboding image of Hailsham being surrounded by restrictions which reveals the marginalised existence of the clones - they are hidden
analyse large house/ empty stretch of land
the vague terms associated with the location of Hailsham shows how its purposefully been constructed to lack any depth and how society wants to overlook the existence of the clones
