Forster’s conventionalism is encountered by his Modernism. This article presents Forster's post modernity as well as his critical theory of fiction. Forster explains in his books the real nature of his thematically interrelated characters. The secrets of the characters’ types are anatomized. Aspects of the Novel is one of his books which makes a survey of fiction from Defoe to Joyce. It deals with the novel to draw certain critical conclusions from its varied history using a distinguished critical approach. In the book Forster analyzes the seven aspects of the novel, story, plot, characters, fantasy, prophecy, and pattern.. This paper is interested in presenting Forster as a critical theorist and it concludes that he has a post modern vision of criticism. The current study will introduce a post modern critical reading of his books as a literary theory which is considered a revolution in fiction during the 20th century.
