― E. M. Forster, Where Angels Fear to Tread
[text ID: I seem fated to pass through the world without colliding with it or moving it — and I'm sure I can't tell you whether the fate's good or evil. I don't die — I don't fall in love. And if other people die or fall in love they always do it when I'm just not there.]

ok just finished where angels fear to tread and i honestly liked it a lot more than i thought i would. the whole time i read it was this cycle of going "wtf why would he write that that's such a stupid thing to happen this sucks" and then reading on for a while and thinking ok no that was really fucking smart. it is still weaker imo than the later books ive read by forster but i really liked it anyway. i also found the romance plotline which i won't spoil a lot more interesting and compelling tbh than the likes of lucy and george, i think arwav stands on merits other than romance and george is kind of just a stand in for a certain way of looking at life so it isn't really a focus to show the actual process of her falling for him even though that's literally what the book is about, i think w/ this book it gave that kind of plotline a much more interesting perspective and especially ending which again i won't spoil. either way that isn't at all the most interesting part or the main premise of the book so idk why i mentioned it first. i thought it was extremely interesting to focus on the baby, obviously there's a whole lot of symbolism there about innocence, family values, who is ultimately going to be a key player in the next generation, hope etc. plus there were a few lines near the end involving a jug of milk that i personally thought were really affecting. i also really loved some of the descriptions of italy, the cafe, landscapes, theatre etc although some of forsters comments on italian culture are.. a little questionable. i def think there's some kind of exoticising of italians throughout which is present in arwav as well but to a lesser degree. however something else that was similar to arwav that i liked was the way that the english characters seemed to view italy almost as a state of mind which manifested in a whole bunch of different ways in their tourism and the way they moved through italy depending on their outlook - thinking especially of philip vs harriet, also lilia - but ultimately none of them managed to see it as just a regular ass country with normal people in it rather than some kind of mystical philosophical principle which imo was part of what led to a lot of the negative stuff that went down throughout (and there was a lot more than i expected from a book which i was led to believe was like.. a goofy social comedy lol it isn't). one day i might make a whole post abt forsters attitude to tourism and the representations of other countries and how thats used to drive the plot - tourism is like.. an integral part of literally all his books ive read so far except maurice - but im probably going to save that until after i read a passage to india. anyway more generally like all his books this one had those lovely little stand alone passages which really speak to me and are just a wonderful experience to read. there were also some kind of more obvious metaphors/symbols than in other books by him - ones that stuck with me were the milk, the birds eating all the seeds in the garden, the baby, the walls of the town .. i thought they were obvious but didn't go so far as to be annoying or too on the nose which was nice, like they were still interesting and made you think. also the whole ending was so much DRAMA and full of PLOT TWISTS which i hadn't been expecting at all so i was just reading it like oh my god :0 no way :0.
anyway tl;dr i would recommend this book but probably only if you've already read other stuff by forster, its quite interesting within the wider body of his work but if it's the first book of his u read then it probably won't leave a huge impression, tbh i would recommend reading howards end first bc it will suck ur dick and so forth, yeah i liked this book 👍 byee

Last night I watched “Where angels fear to tread” (1991) Drama
Another pull from the bargain bin. This was very mid. Didn’t like it, didn’t dislike it. There were some issues with the audio, a lot of the characters mumbled or their voices echoed loudly off the walls. Some of the dialogue was in Italian as well, and there were no subtitles. Overall I could only understand about half the words coming out of their mouths. The story, acting, filming and costumes were good enough. The ending that should have made me feel something didn’t. I don’t have an interest in seeing this again.
5/10
