Essays: Heart of Darkness Summary
|
This ebook, written by Susan Sovine, PhD, is a collection of five essays on Heart of Darkness. The first essay provides a background of the author, Joseph Conrad, and how his life experiences contributed to writing his novel. The second essay is a reader’s response to charges made by Chinua Achebe that Conrad is a racist. The argument is made that Conrad is simply reflecting back to the Europeans so they can see their exploitation of other peoples more objectively. The third essay is an introduction to the novel including Conrad’s use of symbols that make the novel more meaningful. The fourth essay discusses the role of women by examining the characters of the Intended, the African Mistress, and the aunt. The final essay explores good and evil from Nietzsche’s theory of Apollo and Dionysus dichotomy as portrayed by Marlow and Kurtz. |
