This essay aims to trace allegorical elements in Howards End. Forster’s world view is founded on the dualism of the ideal and the reality. In this work he tries to extend his vision of life to the social and economic spheres. Here comes the dilemma of how to represent it. In spite of his social and personal realism, his characters and backgrounds of the work inevitably reflect allegorical features. Howards End represent the spiritual values in harmony with nature while the city, London, and automobiles demonstrate the features of modern civilization which include disorder, fluidity and reduction of time and space. The values of backgrounds are also embodied in the main characters. The surrogate of Forster, Margaret tries to integrate her inner life with the outer reality. Her marriage with Mr. Wilcox is a search for a home where inner life and outer life can be combined in an integrated vision of life. The relationship of Helen with Bast can be read as an artistic way for extending Forster’s vision of social integration. This work achieves a temporary order in the chaos of personal and social life with some failures in the implausibility of characterization and plot Even with these flaws, this work can be read as a tribute to the people who venture to risk their lives with courage, and as an allegorical representation of human efforts in search for an ideal.
