Detailed explanation-1: -Moore is a good-hearted, religious, elderly woman with mystical leanings. The initial days of her visit to India are successful, as she connects with India and Indians on an intuitive level. Whereas Adela is overly cerebral, Mrs. Moore relies successfully on her heart to make connections during her visit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Miss Moore is representative of the conflict between Black intellectuals and less formally educated Black people. While she has the knowledge and desire to educate her community, she is viewed as an outsider and struggles to connect with the people that she’s trying to help.
Detailed explanation-3: -In E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India, Ronny Heaslop acts as a representative of those who imbibe the views of those that surround them. This is done partly unconsciously and partly consciously in order to scale the ladder of success. These actions make Ronny a clear racist and supremacist.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Do kindly tell us who these ladies are, ” asked Mrs Moore. “You’re superior to them, anyway. Don’t forget that. You’re superior to everyone in India except one of two of the Ranis, and they’re on an equality.”
