- Intriguing how different people see the world and their roles in it. Stevens was not curious in the least about the important affairs taking place at Darlington Hall. His only focus was providing great service and being a butler with dignity. He sometimes acted like a machine, not being with his father during his dying moments or congratulating Miss Kenton when she got married after working together for many years.
- Does performing one's job to one's highest level outweigh the importance of forming tight relationships and making oneself vulnerable to them?
What I got out of it
- An engaging novel which transports you back in time into the mind of a butler at a Lord's home who takes his job extremely seriously. Interesting read in order to be able to understand the point of view of someone in this position at this tumultuous time.
