In the end, Axl and Beatrice’s worst fears regarding the Britons and Saxons seem likely to come true. Unfortunately, their one chance for happiness seems to have been reliant on forgetting the past despite their belief that their love would stand strong. As Axl and Beatrice prepare to help Wistan slay Querig and restore their memories, Axl becomes hesitant and wonders “what good’s a memory’s returning from the mist if it’s only to push away another?” This reveals his growing fear that bad memories of the past will obscure their current happiness. Furthermore, Beatrice has already begun to experience “remembrances to make [her] shrink from [Axl].” Although she still has no definite idea of what their past lives were like, this indicates that some of those bad memories are worse and more powerful than they previously imagined. Ultimately, it is Axl who reveals, and seemingly succumbs to, the intensity of his past anger and resentment at Beatrice. After revealing his long-held resentment of Beatrice for having an affair, Axl initially holds out hope that they can go to the island together, but is soon persuaded to leave Beatrice to be taken to the island (which represents the afterlife) alone. Enrique MacMillian: After reading the DIG book, he became seized with the urge to dig because, to him, "below" felt comforting while "above" felt overwhelming. Attempted to dig into the floor of the Head Archivist's office with his bare hands after seeing something below the floorboards that no one else saw. However, it is noted that entities like this that oppose each other directly would struggle without one another, implying that the Vast and the Buried may be closely connected.
The novel follows an elderly Briton couple, Axl and Beatrice, living in a fictional post- Arthurian England in which no-one is able to retain long-term memories. After dimly recalling that, years earlier, they might have had a son, the couple decide to travel to a neighbouring village to seek him out. Knowing that he is not going to be saved, Paul accepts his fate. Brenner profusely apologizes to Paul as the sand finally fills the coffin and he suffocates as the light goes out. Beatrice longs to visit her son, but she doesn’t know why she feels he is in a distant village or where it is. How could she? She can’t remember anything. Yet she is strong and determined, even in pain. Axl, watching her sleep, comes to a decision: it is time they undertake a journey. It will be dangerous, as they are old, so weakened that they are no longer trusted with having a candle, for fear it cause a fire. Stilted when striving Founded more than 150 years ago, Arnos Vale cemetery, in Bristol, is the oldest garden cemetery in the south west. Ebert, Roger (22 September 2010).

Janine Marriott, a thanatologist and the public engagement manager at Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust said the cemetery is "a real place of love". Even the gross inequalities of modern Egypt are mirrored by the malnourished skeletons of the ancient workers of Amarna. Akhenaten’s son Tutankhamun may have been buried in solid gold inlaid with imported Afghan lapis, but the workers who built his dynastic cities had short, impoverished lives: “Seventy per cent of individuals were younger than 35. More than one third were dead by the age of 15. Only a few individuals lived beyond 50.” The Buried Giant took ten years to write, longer than Ishiguro had anticipated. Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in 2014, he recalled that his wife, Lorna MacDougall, had rejected an early draft of the book, saying: "This won't do ... there's no way you can carry on with this, you'll have to start again from the beginning." [6] Ishiguro added that, at the time, he had been surprised by her comments because he had been pleased with his progress so far. [6] He shelved the novel and wrote a short-story collection, Nocturnes (2009). [4] It was six years before Ishiguro returned to The Buried Giant, and, following his wife's advice, he proceeded to "start from scratch and rebuild it from the beginning".

Film director John Waters named Buried as one of the ten best films of 2010, stating, "The most excruciatingly painful date movie imaginable comes complete with a very smart feel-bad ending.

If Ishiguro has intended The Buried Giant as a fantasy novel he should have worked a bit harder; the genre merits more respect. There is a sequence in which the couple, having escaped from one danger, attempt to borrow a boat. Instead they are offered two baskets in which to travel down the river. Beatrice insists that the crafts be latched together. Enter the screaming pixies. It is hysterical: the pixies swarm like locusts over the floating baskets and then are gone.Karolina Górka: Was trapped in an underground train, which continued on a never-ending route and got progressively dirtier and more crushed in by earth. Karolina woke up at Walthamstow Central after resigning herself to death in the train as dirt piled up around her. She decided it could not have been a dream because she was still covered in dirt when she woke. Left a great deal of dust behind after making her statement. Beatrice is very insecure. For all her courage she cannot help clinging to Axl, leaving the reader suspecting that there has been an infidelity in the past. She may not be able to recall it, but the old wife can sense it. As for Axl, he is as interesting to those he meets along the way as he is to Beatrice. The Craftsman is an absolutely terrific crime novel that takes your darkest fear and makes it reality.' Elly Griffiths As early as this opening paragraph Kazuo Ishiguro appears to be imposing a firm structure on the narrative, which appears to be intended to take the form of a fairy tale – "ogres" providing the clue.
