ESSAY ON: Joseph Conrad/Marlow & Kurtz

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 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.
