Razon Mahmood:
                                                                  Miss Adela Quested

Miss Adela Quested as mentioned in A Passage to India is an English girl who came to India with Mrs. Moore to meet her fiancé, Ronny Heaslop. Adela possessed plain and unattractive look. She was young and amiable but lacked that charm of youth. She faces a strange kind of hallucination in the caves, and accuses Aziz of making some insulting advances towards her. Later on, she withdraws her charges. Indian climate is very much telling upon her. It is under this troubled mental state that she loses sense of right and wrong evil overcomes her. Later on, the really good of her prevails, and her behaviour rests on cold justice and honesty. She, however, feels no passion of love for those whom she was wronged. She is deserted by all Englishman except Mr. Fielding. She is described by the author as “a lumpy, ordinary sort of girl” having real intrinsic decency. She becomes a symbol of the conflict between the two races.

Razon Mahmood:
                                                                                 BRIDGE PARTY

In the Bridge Party that takes place at the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to some of these prejudices and cultural misunderstandings that are formed with the fusion of these two divergent cultures. The bridge party was a miserable affair. The Indian guests arrived at the bridge party before time but they kept to themselves. Turton came late and surveyed the gathering which was composed of Hindus Muslims and Parsees. There have been many events in the novel that illustrates this social difference between the British and the Indians. For instance, the Bridge Party can serve as an example of this lack of unity. “Would she like a Bridge Party? He explained to her what that was-not the game, but a party to bridge the gulf between Eastand West; Even though the Bridge Party was to serve as an “ice breaker” between the East and the West, it just so happened that its intention was not filled.

The Moments when characters resort to non crease language or chichis when appears to have lost their denotative function.At last we can say that absurd drama is well combination of meaningless dialogue, purposes and confusing situation when emphasizes the absurdity of human existence...

She informs him that she has newly arrived to know India as well as to see her son who is the city Magistrate of Chandrapore. In the darkness of the Mosque when he first hears the voice of Mrs. Moore, he is deceived into thinking that she is young, and when he finds that she is old, he receives a shock. Then they mention their respective families, and Aziz finding her sympathetic complains in strong words about the humiliations inflicted upon him that evening by his superior, Major Callender  and his equally callous wife. Mrs. Moore is surprised and insists that she does not understand people rather no she likes or dislikes a person.That's why Aziz calls her an Oriental. The conflict of the Oriental mind and Western mind is an important one in this novel because it is the basis of much of the misunderstanding Mrs. Moore has the ability to cross lines. However, the relationship thus established between the Mohammedan and the English woman leads to certain momentous consequences afterwords.
