Stevens is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious to the real life that goes on around him--oblivious, for instance, to the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, there are even larger matters at stake here--namely, Stevens's own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence.
