A Passage to India Narrator:

Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?

Third Person/Omniscient

The narrator weaves seamlessly between different characters' points of view in its attempt to give a multi-faceted account of events. The narrator tends to speak with authority on the characters, explaining in great detail the characters' psychology and cultural background. The narrator seems almost god-like, particularly when discussing the characters' diverse religious experiences with ease.
