Joseph Conrad's "Heart Of Darkness" - Economic Imperialism
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. To say Joseph Conrad had a forthright objective when penning his celebrated Heart of Darkness is to acknowledge how the author utilized his literary prowess to expose a threatening component of an otherwise civilized human race. The time Conrad spent in the Congo opened his eyes to the pervasiveness of economic imperialism to such a degree that he was compelled to stage the public critique that took place at the turn of the twentieth century within the pages of his renowned novel, a bleak episode in Africa's history that was not entirely collaborative with Jules Ferry's claims. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Joseph Conrad/Africa & Africans in Heart of Darkness
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that attempts to evaluate Conrad's attitude towards Africa and Africans in his masterpiece Heart of Darkness. The writer argues that rather than concentrate on abuses faced by Africans or the rape of the environment perpetuated by Europeans who were there to exploit the natural resources of the continent, Conrad emphasizes the detrimental effect that Africa has on the Europeans in the story. His argument, therefore, it that imperialism is wrong, not so much because of what is done to Africa and Africans, but rather because it turns sensible, sane, lawabiding Europeans into power-mad megalomaniacs who are capable of the grossest atrocities. No additional sources cited.

Joseph Conrad/Marlow & Kurtz
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that compares and contrasts the characters of Marlow and Kurtz in Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. The writer argues that Kurtz's educated background, his learning and his trust in his own cultural heritage, proved to be poor shields from the tyranny of his darker impulses, once the reinforcements of civilization were not present. Marlow, on the other hand, as a man of action, had the resources to resist the freedom of a more savage world. By contrasting the characters of Kurtz and Marlow, Conrad's purpose in this dark narrative becomes clear. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
