The remains of the day - Reading Guide (1)

Day One: Evening - Salisbury

We could say this chapter is divided in two parts, what are they?

Why does Steven stop the car after just twenty minutes of driving?

How does he describe the landscape he sees from the top of the hill?

When does he get to the guesthouse and what does he do next?

What brings him to reflect on the qualities that make a 'great' butler?

How does Stevens define 'dignity' and what three examples of dignity does he give?

Do you agree with Stevens's vision of 'dignity'? What do you think of the butlers in the three examples?
