E.M. Forster’s Short Stories as Emotive Fantasies

Öz

As and Edwardian author and a ‘reluctant modernist’ E.M. Forster penned several short stories as well as great novels. In the three selected short stories titled “The Story of a Panic”, “The Story of a Siren”, and “The Celestial Omnibus”, Forster makes use of fantasy fiction based on the feeling of desire. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Forster’s emotive fantasies are constructed through features of “longing for another world or a lost world” and/or “finding our own world enchanted”. Some of the underlying motifs such as mythological figures, pastoral images, beauty and individualism are also part of the discussion. Using the theory of Todorov’s fantasy and Manlove’s arguments regarding fantasy fiction as a springboard for discussion, this study argues that even though the selected short stories by Forster are shaped by desire as emotive fantasies, the feeling of desire does not lead to a satisfaction; in other words, desire is an inconlusive and discontinuous feeling which contributes to the formation of the stories.
