Rape in the eyes of a Wabash Man

The effect of being molested in A Passage to India brings up a good topic. At Wabash our class would be able to discuss this topic from a different viewpoint than any other class, or most other. Being all male derives a unique conversation of various acts of cruelty especially toward women. Rape viewed in an all male classroom would be very different, than in a coed one. In this story the conflict is intertwined into the British Indian relationship. This provides a unique experience for the Wabash man as he is forced to question the volitity of the molestation, in this story I believe that it was either untrue or in no fault of the women. This story is a classic example of the south in the early nineteen hundreds. White women would claim to be molested by black men, when as in To Kill a Mocking Bird, proved the truth is nothing happened. Even if the claim is completely true I just leave the class the question of, “What was the fault of the man, and what is the fault of the women?”
