The Buried Giant is a magical world which combines the themes of memory, forgetting, and the power of storytelling. Ishiguro uses the prism of forgetfulness to build a narrative that questions the accepted ideas about memory and its role in forming identity and relationships. Kazuo Ishiguro was born on 8th November 1954 is a British novelist, screenwriter, musician, and short-story writer. He is one of the most critically acclaimed and praised contemporary fiction authors writing in English, awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature. Ishiguro uses the themes such as migration, and desire for a homeland. The multifaceted examinations of amnesia in The Buried giant are the focus of this paper, where he also explores how the fantasy aspects of the works are used as springboard for profound philosophical investigations into memory and the human conditions. The dragon’s deadly illness is a metaphor for the characters’ ongoing struggles and traumas from the past, which keeps them away from really comprehending state and makes them forget who they are and where they have come from. In addition to obscuring memories, the dragon’s mist of forgetfulness stifles the possibility of peace and understanding amongst various cultures.
