Never Let Me Go - Personification

Page 207 - "Then there's solitude."

At the beginning of chapter eighteen, the beginning of part three, Ishiguro uses this sentence. To me it gives off an ultimatum feeling. I know it's not meant to do that but that's my opinion. Here solitude is personified. Ishiguro goes on to describe the solitude by using a hypothetical situation to describe it. This situation is particularly similar to Kathy's life. I say this because it speaks of growing up knowing the same people. Then it goes on to speak of traveling to different hospitals. I get a sense of Kathy reminiscing a general recollection of her life.
