Howards End, written by E.M. Forster, is an examination of the various social statuses in an established society. This book is a question of survival: between the rich and poor; men and women; between the strong and weak. In dealing with such topics as poverty and women’s suffrage, Forster carefully illustrates many issues during the early 1900s. Through a few key characters, we are opened up to the many questions of one’s rights according to their position in England during a time of many political and economic changesdivided into many social groups. Although not very positive, Forster teaches us that, “there are just rich and poor, as there always has been and always will be. Point me out a time when men have been equal.” (152)
