Answer 1

the tittle is where angels fear to tread :

i feel the tittle is appropriate beacause

he sums up in a nutshell some of the key themes that Forster studies in his novel— the dangers of meddling in affairs when it's none of your business, and the dangers of rushing into, say, a quickie marriage with a hot Italian dude. the implications of the disastrous consequences that take place when characters "rush in where angels fear to tread is visible at the ending of the story.

meaning :

“ Fools rush in where angels fear to tread : The rash or inexperienced will attempt things that wiser people are more cautious of.

the fools in this story are the character like lilia : who rushed to marries the handsome but selfish Italian, Gino Carella and she soon finds herself in an unhappy marriage with little personal freedom.

Mrs. Herriton who sends Philip and his sister Harriet off to Italy to rescue the "poor" child from his "uneducated" father.Harriet decides to take matters into her own hands and kidnaps the child. and fate child is killed.
