Heart of Darkness as a Masterpiece

 


The Heart of Darkness is an authoritative adventure to travel in the heart of the Belgian Congo. The story depicts the invasions of the locals, the description of the forest and the river, and the characteristics of the Europeans, who sometimes attack the forest to extract ivory, ideally and sometimes just for profit. However, the journey to the heart of the Congo is also a symbolic journey into the darkness of the heart and soul of humanity, a deep journey of fundamental passion, superstition, and lust.

People like the district manager who travel on this tour to rob the Congolese of ivory simply without being aware of the importance of central darkness can survive. Similarly, Marlow, who is just an observer, and never gets involved, can survive to tell a story. But those like Mr. Kurtz, who are familiar with darkness, who hope to bring light into the light of all intelligence and all of humanity, are doomed. They themselves have been swallowed up by the darkness and evil that they hoped would penetrate.



Joseph Conrad manages to realize his evil at the center of human experience, without breaking the pattern of his story or forcing the story to lose its atmosphere and psychic power. The richness of the natural symbols, the clear development of the character, and the charm of the story make it a novella that has been praised and widely read since its publication in 1899. The Heart of Darkness is a masterpiece and style.

Through his Polish parents, Christened Jósef Teodor Konrad Nacz Korzeniowski was able to write about the Konrad Sea and travel with knowledge. Early in his life, he left Poland's cold climate to travel to the warm Mediterranean, where he became a sailor. He began to read extensively and chose the Mediterranean as the central metaphor for the ideas that were forming in his imagination. He made a huge journey: the West Indies, Latin America, Africa. Eventually, he settled in England and perfected an excellent subtle but powerful literary style (through an extensive method of translating from Polish into English into French).

There is widespread criticism of Conrad's work in general and the heart of darkness in particular. Many critics are concerned about Conrad's style. Others focus on the biographical aspects of his imagination. Some see this work as a social commentary. Some study Conrad’s research in human psychology. Many people are interested in health, in the symbol of sorrow, and in a vision that takes all their work. Hence, it is easy to see that Conrad is a very difficult literary skill. EM Forster describes him as a vague author who does not clearly state the philosophy behind these stories. Like Conrad's scholarly letter, Conrad's views on dealing with the blasphemy of such censorship have been ignored, the narrator's Heart of Darkness writes in the first few pages of the novel. Copper: The stitches are straight and the peanut shell is torn. But Marlowe is not strong (if the thread is left out) and for him, the show doesn't mean like Dana, but from the outside, it's the only thing that's completely wrapped up in the story. Aya, one of them is an example of a broken hall where the moonlight can be illuminated.

The narrator's narration reveals a very complex and interesting feature of the darkness of the heart: its careful execution and broad perspective. Readers can find out (if they are careful in their reading) the fact that this novel is in fact two stories, unfounded by Conrad's masterpiece.
