The Other Side of the Hedge

The Other Side of the Hedge After reading “The Other Side of the Hedge,” by Edward Morgan Forster, one would get an impression from the main character that life is a long and hard journey. The main character in this story goes through an ordeal that is interpreted to be the passage of life to that of after death. When a person dies it is often wondered what it is that happens to their soul. …

…automatically make you happy and make you a good person. There seems to be a whole lot more to it than that. Forster’s main character in “The Other Side of the Hedge,” has seen first hand these hardships of getting into heaven and has made the transition from life on earth, to some kind of after life in heaven. This transition is a change that has been reflected and reinforced by symbolism and setting.
