Forster's Ambiguity in A Passage to India AMBIGUITE DE FORSTER DANS A PASSAGE TO INDIA
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract: A Passage to India has long been interpreted as a classic anti-colonial text since its publication in 1924. This paper intends to explore Forster's changing impression about India and analyze the ambiguity and contradicted idea of Forster, which makes the novel complex. As a middle-class English writer of the early twentieth century, Forster is anti-imperial in some way, yet he does not entirely give up the idea of the English Empire. This clearly shows Forster's colonial stand in his subconscious mind, which causes his ambiguity in the novel. Keywords: A Passage to India, E.M. Forster, Ambiguity, colonial Resume: A Passage to India a ete longtemps interprete comme un texte classique anticolonial depuis sa publication en 1924. Cette these a l'intention d'exploiter l'impression changeante de Forster sur l'Inde et elle a fait une analyse sur l'ambiguite et l'idee contradictoire de Forster, qui fait un roman complexe. En tant qu'ecrivain anglais de la classe moyenne dans la premiere moitie du Ile siecle, Forster est dans certain sens anti-imperial, pourtant, il n'abandonne pas completement les idees de l'Empire anglaise. Cela montre clairement la position coloniale de Forster dans sa mentalite consciente qui produit son ambiguite dans son roman. Mots-cles: A Passage to India, E.M. Forster, Ambiguite, colonial Published in 1924,^4 Passage To India aroused much criticism at the time. Forster admits that he takes the title from a poem of Walt Whitman. The opening of Suez Canal in 1869 generates Whitman's enthusiasm to explore the East. With an optimistic vision, Whitman writes: Passage to India! Lo, soul, seest thou not God's purpose from the first? The earth to be spann' d, connected by network. The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage. The oceans to be cross' d, the distant brought near, The lands to be welded together. . . .Europe to Asia, Africa joins As Brides and bridegrooms hand in hand. Whitman shows in the lines his strong will for connecting the East and the West. He believes that the building of Suez Canal will bridge the gap between the West and the East, that the West and the East will hence be firmly united as one just like a bride and a bridegroom in a marriage. Though Forster derives the novel's title from the poem, he is not as optimistic as Whitman in the marriage of the West and the East. Peter. Childs, who edits E.M.Forster' s A Passage to India, a book which is a recent ideal sourcebook for studying Forster's A Passage to India, holds the view that Forster uses the line in Whitman's poem as the title of the novel to refer to several journeys to India: the English colonial enterprise in India, Mrs Morre's and Adela' s voyage in India, and the train ride to the caves, as well as, metaphorically, the readers' introduction to India by Forster. (Childs, 147) Forster seems to suggest by the title his ideal of all countries being united; the West and the East, as described in the poem, yet what the novel shows is a quite different picture. The novel begins with a short description of Chandrapore as the setting of the story, a city along the Ganges that is not notable except for the nearby Marabar caves. Forster establishes Chandrapore as a prototypical Indian town, neither distinguished nor exceptionally troubled. This town can therefore be taken to be symbolic of the rest of India rather than an exceptional case. At the beginning of the story, Dr. Aziz, a young Indian physician, a Moslem, arrives at a dinner party given by his friend Hamidullah, one of the most educated and wealthier Moslems in Chandrapore and the town's leading attorney. Another guest is Mahmoud Ali, also a lawyer who has a more radical attitude to the British rale. They are having a discussion. The subject of the conversation, whether it is possible to be friends with an Englishman, announces the major theme of cultural communication between the Indians and the Anglo-Indians, the English in India. …
