In E.M. Forester's A Passage to India, the main character, Dr. Aziz, is a Moslem doctor living in Chandrapore. He is a widower with three children who meets Mrs. Moore, an aged English widow who has three children herself and becomes friends with her. Even though Dr. Aziz is a munificent and caring man towards his English friends, after Adela Quested charges him with assault he becomes bitter, vindictive and developed more than hard feelings towards the British. When Ms. Quested experiences a mental collapse, the British assume that her circumstance was the result of sexual molestation and falsely accuse Dr. Aziz of this crime. When Dr. Aziz is found not guilty, he builds up a relentless hatred, not only for the British, but also for his own attorney. Dr. Aziz's newfound viewpoint is an immediate response t

One of the major themes of E. M. Forster's novel is cultural misunderstanding. Contradictory cultural ideas and expectations dealing with hospitality, social proprieties, and the role of religion in daily life are responsible for misunderstandings between the English and the Indians. Aziz tells Fielding at the conclusion of the novel, "It is useless discussing Hindus with me. Living with them teaches me no more. When I think I annoy them, I do not. When I think I don't annoy them, I do". E.M. Forster shows how repeated misunderstandings can turn into cultural stereotypes and are often used to validate the uselessness of attempts to try to bring different cultures together.

The narrator of the story, Nick Carraway comes from a well-to-do Midwestern family. He comes to New York to enter the bond business, and becomes involved with the affair between Gatsby and the Buchanans. Although seemingly honest, responsible, and fair, Nick nevertheless shares some of the less desirable traits of his acquaintances. He can be equally careless with others' emotions. Yet among the characters he is the only one who realizes the greatness of Gatsby compared to his contemporaries. Nick showed any of the sensibility that there was throughout the novel. Even though Nick represented the middle class striving to raise their status, he maintained his ground. Through the experiences that he had gone through being with the high society, there was a major turning point for him. Nick realized that the corrupt and shallow class had absolutely no morals. From there he moved back West, too afraid that he may experience what Gatsby had experienced. Jay Gatsby on the other hand, was somewhat of a mystery man. He was a mystery because he was never seen directly, only through other people's perceptions. Nobody really knew his identity or him as a person. Gatsby was on a quest in search of something that meant his whole life to him. He wanted to relive the past that he had with Daisy and didn't stop for a second to come back to reality, even though other people told him otherwise.
