ESSAY ON: Joseph Conrad/Africa & Africans in Heart of Darkness

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 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.
