The analysis delves into the architectural metaphor present in Forster's work, particularly how housing reflects the characters' economic status and behaviors. It examines the contrasting living conditions of the Wilcoxes, Schlegels, and Basts, highlighting how these environments shape their moral and social identities. The paper argues that Forster critiques early 20th-century housing, showcasing three distinct types: country houses, urban lower middle-class homes, and London townhouses, revealing the deeper societal implications tied to these settings.
