Heart of Darkness

The narrative follows Marlow's perilous journey into the Congo, symbolizing a deeper exploration of Western corruption and the clash of cultures. As he seeks the elusive Mr. Kurtz, Marlow confronts not only the darkness of colonialism but also the inherent darkness within humanity itself. This duality reflects the consequences of imperial intrusion into Africa and serves as a profound commentary on the nature of civilization and morality. Conrad's work ultimately reveals that the true 'heart of darkness' resides within us all.
