Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes Joseph Conrad's linguistic style in "Heart of Darkness" to determine whether he used racist comments in order to evoke a certain linguistic effect and further his ideas and plot or whether he was actually a racist in his own "heart of darkness".

From the Paper:

"Linguistic style is the most important determinant in approximating authorial intent. As the post-modern era of criticism has imploded the importance of authorial intent, it has completely revoked the applicability of examining an author's history and lifestyle to determine literary intent."
