As the Passage to India progresses, many of the characters take form and evolve. The three major characters that continue to evolve thus far in the novel are Mr. Fielding, Dr. Aziz and Adela Quested. Forster illustrates the insufficiencies and limitations of these characters by portraying the opinions through the other character’s points of view. Dr. Aziz is seen in a new light during this period of the novel which changes the view of him from someone outside looking in. From the beginning of the novel, Mr. Fielding has been portrayed as the only Englishman who treats the native Indians fairly, but in chapter eleven, he begins to seem more human and flawed.

Just as Dr. Aziz shows his true colors, Mr. Fielding shines his genuine personality through his façade. When Dr. Aziz asks Mr. Fielding why he does not marry Adela Quested, he says, “Good God! why, the girl’s a prig.”… “(she) struck me as one of the more pathetic products of Western education. She depresses me” (Forster, 129). By saying this, Mr. Fielding shatters all visions of a respectable and respectful man of honor. He goes on belittling her character saying that she is trying to hard to understand the India and the culture. Mr. Fielding only seems to cherish his position in India but truly does not care whether he is make to leave or not. Dr. Aziz warns Mr. Fielding that if he is not careful about what he says, he will be forced to leave, but Mr. Fielding brushes it off saying, “I shall survive. I travel light” (Forster, 131). By making this statement, it seems that Mr. Fielding is not as dedicated to his position as once believed. As he makes these statements, it is clear that he does not value his position, but does value women more than his friend, Dr. Aziz because he “found a touch of bad taste in reference to a lady’s breasts” (Forster, 131).
