Kathy H.

As both the protagonist and the narrator, the insight that you get into the intricacies of Kathy’s character are vast. Kathy is a pupil of Hailsham, and as is the case with all pupils, she is a clone designed with the sole purpose of donating her vital organs when she reaches adulthood. Kathy can be characterised as an inquisitive, caring, and careful observer, and this entails a degree of passivity, particularly in her childhood. Although she is at times determined and self-assured, she is never rebellious and certainly never particularly confrontational. Kathy’s lack of rebellion may be purely a product of her socialisation as a child, or due to her character, but this same tendency is apparently shared by the majority of Hailsham students, and clones in general.
