Paper Summary:

Joseph Conrad takes us deep into the continent of Africa during the time of British imperialism for a behind-the-scenes look at savagery in his novel, "The Heart of Darkness". This review takes a look at the imagery of the novel, comparing it to broader examples of "darkness" within the human condition.

From the Paper:

"In Conrad's novel, Kurtz killed the dozens of people whose heads decorated his lawn, but how much blood was on the hands of those who had sent him there? What responsibility belongs to those like the Russian in the novel who held Kurtz in such high regard? How many lives were lost so that the beautiful and civilized people of the world could have their thirty pieces of silver made of ivory?"
