There are multiple comparisons that could be made between Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, and E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India. The vivid use of nature in their imagery is one of them. We discussed a clear link between Clarissa Dallowy, Septimus, and their common mention of nature, particularly in the form of trees. In contrast, trees are not typically the main focus when referring to the nature of Chandrapore. What is quite often mentioned, is the sky. It is mentioned in the initial description of Chandrapore, “The sky settles everything— not only climates and seasons but when the earth shall be beautiful. By herself she can do little— only feeble outbursts of flowers. But when the sky chooses, glory can rain into the Chandrapore bazaars or a benediction pass from horizon to horizon.” (pg. 10). And when Adela is thinking about Mr. Heaslop, “India had developed sides of his character that she had never admired. His self-complacency, his censoriousness, his lack of subtlety, all grew vivid beneath a tropic sky.” (pg. 79). And again with Adela and Mrs. Moore in their train compartment on the way to the Marabar Caves, “As she spoke, the sky to the left turned angry orange. Colour throbbed and mounted behind a pattern of trees, grew in intensity, was yet brighter, incredibly brighter, strained from without against the globe of the air.” (pg. 136). For starters, this imagery does a great deal in grounding the reader within the story’s location. No doubt further reading will reveal more connections and meanings behind the many descriptions of the landscape.
