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.

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.
