Where Angels Fear to Tread

In "Where Angels Fear to Tread," E.M. Forster unveils the tumultuous clash of cultures and social norms through the story of the Herriton family's entanglement with Italy. When young widow Lilia Herriton marries a much younger Italian man, her in-laws embark on a mission to save face and retrieve her baby from this unsuitable match. Set against the picturesque but starkly contrasting landscapes of England and Italy, Forster crafts a poignant narrative on the folly of arrogance and the pursuit of genuine happiness amidst rigid societal expectations.
