Mr. Stevens' struggling process of mistreating himself in an inhuman, banal, and restrained manner andlater painfully reconstructing his identity is unequivocally revealed. That would conspicuously serves as an epitome of post-warBritain: people were getting lost in their formerly-constructed cultural identity. Facing swiftly-changing milieu in Britain, peoplemay not enable themselves to transform their cognition, self-esteem, pride or even prejudice in a fast speed as the international sit-uation may do so.
