We must all thank White Darkness and all participants in this forum who have kindly done their best to create this part of the website for the Fourth Year (Prose). Please give a big hand to all of them.:tongue: I hope we can make use of this golden chance to make the novel we study this semester both beneficial and enjoyable. My first question to you now is this: We talked about many characteristics of the 20th century novel, so, which one of them applies to A Passage to India as fgar as you understand? Replies needed and appreciated. Thanks n good luck

I think it is exotic places and theme and exotic means strang places in India and it is only strange for the British people:lol:

the characteristics is exploration of exotic places and themes

and the novel talk that forced and unnatural blend of

,cultures cannot exist it means british society is oppsite of the Indian society.

yeah we all wanna thank her for this great forum

As for the novel, I think that I noticed two characteristcs

of the 20th century novel so far. The first one ofcourse is

Exploration of exotic places and themes

Forster chose India to be the setting of his novel

India is an exotic place for the English readers cuz no author

talked about it before and they don't know anything about it

. ...........So, He descriped it in details its nature,people,religions,cities ....

but while he did this , he tried to make a comparison between the parts where Indians lived ,which were filthy,ugly and uncivilized ,""So abased, so monotonous is everything that meets the eye, that when the Ganges comes down it might be expected to wash the excrescence back into the soil. Houses do fall, people are drowned and left rotting, but the general outline of the town persists, welling here, shrinking there, like some low but indestructible form of life."
and the parts where the English live which were clean organised

As he entered their arid tidiness, depression seized him. The roads,named after vicorious generals and interecting at right angles, were symbolic of ''the net Great Britain had thrown over India .

And the dissolution of form

Forster divided its novel into three parts(mosque-caves-temple

In each part he focused on a specific points and ideas but they are not

totally separated from each other he tried to give us some hints about the

next one and related some ideas with the previous one

That's all

Hope I said something good:roll:

But u need to make quotations from the novel less lenghty. You can for example sum or paraphrase it in ur own words. But its a nice attempt. thanks.And the dissolution of formForster divided its novel into three parts(mosque-caves-templeIn each part he focused on a specific points and ideas but they are not totally separated from each other he tried to give us some hints about the next one and related some ideas with the previous oneThat's allHope I said something good:roll:
This is also true. But i want to add something that was not mentioned in class. You know, dissolution of form means formlessness or the absence of form. Most modernist writers contemporary to Forster suffered from this kind of loose form and that is why when Forster does this in his novel we call ir a coiherent one in terms of structure. thnx once more for ur contribution
