E.M. Forster's «A Passage to India» is characterized by a complex and layered structure, intertwining themes of colonialism, cultural differences, and human relationships. Forster's style is marked by detailed descriptions of the environment and the inner world of the characters, creating an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty. The language of the work is rich with metaphors and symbols that highlight the conflict between East and West. Literary devices such as irony and contrast are used to explore social and political themes.
