Plot-Structure          Race and Gender             Aziz-Fielding relationship         Critical Analysis                 Colonialism A Passage to India (1924) is E.M.Forster’s most successful as well as the most complex novel. Its theme is multi-dimensional and can be examined on social, political, ethical and spiritual levels.

In the essay, The Challenge of our Time he writes, Temperamentally, I am individualist; professionally I am a writer and my books emphasize the importance of personal relationship and the private life, for I believe in them.

Joseph Conrad reveals little about him through the action in the book. We are introduced to this enigmatic character through various events and other persons. His role is a series of images constructed by others. Kurtz’s mother was half-English and his father was half-French. Educated partly in England and partly in other countries, he was a great genius. Conrad presented him as an efficient agent, a painter, a journalist, a musician, a great conversationalist and a great man who could win over the heart of natives.
