I am still wondering what happened to Miss Quested, this part was very mysterious.

the idea is that we never know, and we should never know. Physical desire and drives are the results of repression and instinct. We never know what is real. Forster was writing this at a time of questioning, freudian awakening... India represented a human knowledge that was deeper an subtler and closer to human reality than the stiff christian orthodoxy.

Also she was fiercly attracted to the doctor but the hallucination was to much for her.

the crazy bitch freaked out in the cave and had a catharsis all her sexual pentup emotions came out...

why did they even go to the marabar caves in the first place? how is it enjoyable?

she was just a stupid paranoid bitch. that's all. Dr Aziz is the best
Seems to me that in the cave, Adela becomes almost possessed by her own sexual desire and longing. The heat, desolate majesty of the caves and the echo of Aziz's voice after they share the most intimate of conversations seems to get to her and you can see it in her face. She is quite literally haunted by her hunger for human contact. All the self-imposed scratches all over her body, heavy breathing and white, empty eyes. Spooky stuff, and a phenomenal performance by the underrated Judy Davis.

@BabiAusten It never was quite explicity said, but we're led to believe she either had a hallucination in the cave or that a guide assaulted her. I personally choose to believe it was a hallucination. Something about those caves...
