"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad follows Charles Marlow, a sailor who journeys up the Congo River in search of the enigmatic Kurtz, a rogue ivory trader. As Marlow ventures deeper into the wilderness, he confronts the brutal realities of colonial exploitation and the darkness within human nature. The story explores themes of civilization versus savagery, the complexities of imperialism, and the psychological impacts of isolation. Through vivid imagery and profound symbolism, Conrad delves into the abyss of the human soul, ultimately challenging the veneer of European superiority and exposing the moral ambiguities of colonization.
