Paper Summary:

This paper is an analysis of William Shakespeare's "Othello", and Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Although both works were published over 300 years apart, it will be argued that they share in a number of themes. It will be argued that both works are important to the question or problem of self-knowledge, and further, it will be argued that this self-knowledge is an extension of the awareness of 'evil' or 'cruelty'. Both works also display human nature at its very worst.
