Discuss the theme of friendship in A Passage to India

Friendship is a central theme of the novel. Forster uses it to highlight the problems caused by society and in particular, society in a colonised country. The three major friendships of the novel all involve the main Indian character, Aziz. He attempts to forge connections with the English trio of Mrs Moore, Adela, and Fielding. In each case, even if the friendship begins promisingly, it is soon beset by difficulties which are never wholly surmounted.
