        <description><![CDATA[It shows how an ideology can be used to justify genocide and how the language is used to manipulate people. Africans are called enemies, savages, criminals and rebels and thus dehumanised so that the crimes against humanity (genocide, robbery, torture, killing, enslaving of the natives) could be justified. It also shows us "how much out of touch with the truth" anyone of us can be. In addition, it portrays in great detail the consequences of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Marlow chooses  Kurtz as his "choice of the nightmaree" because he is ultimately more human than the manager and the pilgrims. Marlow and Kurtz both can be contrasted to other Company's employers who are "common traders" with no morals whatsoever. There is some sense of connection in their relationship towards natives. Marlow looks at them at time "as you would a human being..." also he stops the pilgrims form killing the natives, and Kurtz ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[psman1020--
To find clear examples of Conrad's racism, it may be helpful to remember that Conrad's view of the Africans was typical of the European and American attitudes and prejudices at the time. 
Think about the various beliefs which were parts of that prejudicial view: the belief that Africans were uncivilized savages, that they were incapable of abstract and highly intellectual thinking, that they were predominantly ruled by their...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Conrad is trying to show the effect the jungle has on men. The technology on which the Europeans depend so much becomes useless and eventually rots away in the hot, humid jungle environment. The same thing can be said of Kurtz and other colonials who come and try to "civilize" the inhabitants of the African jungle. Their values and usual behavior is useless in this new environment and eventually those value and more behavior "rots" both the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This novel uses a "frame" to tell the story. What does that mean? It means that there is a story within a story.  We have the story of the men all sitting around reminscing, plus the story of the journey upriver, narrated in the first person by Marlow, but being told to this group of men. As Marlow speaks, the reader does not know who is relating what he says.  All we know is that the person who is telling us the story of Marlow telling the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[

Are you looking for topics to focus on?  If so, one of the main themes of the novel is the tension that exists between races.  Another theme that you could write about would be imperialism.  Conrad especially focuses on how imperialism creates greed and ruthless selfishness.  A possible analysis you could do would be a historical analysis of imperialism and how it is represented in Heart of Darkness.  If you are looking for something...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are a number of ways to consider the meaning of the title on its own or as it relates to the story.  You may or may not be aware that African was frequently referred to as the "Dark Continent," and Conrad was almost certainly aware of that.  The darkness of the continent could refer to its unknown quality or the darkness of the people who resided there.  (Remember that the book takes place during a period of colonialism and great...]]></description>
