Through globalization and increasing immigration, people from different cultures have had to learn how to live together. In order to help people navigate and understand such cultural clashes, some authors have written literary works that depict characters, struggling to assimilate, integrate and adapt. A Passage to India by E.M. Forster, The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai and Brick Lane by Monica Ali explore cultural conflict through their depiction of characters and their relationships. An analysis of these works helps answer the research question: How do the authors of Brick Lane, The Inheritance of Loss and A Passage to India comment on cultural conflict by depicting character in romantic relationships, friendships and family relationships? As this study of the novels and their characters will show, E.M. Forster, Kiran Desai and Monica Ali suggest that cultural conflicts are best overcome through broader definitions of identity, mutual respect for differences and more sharing of power in multicultural settings.
