Marlow Describes Kurtz Actions
1,830 words
Throughout his narrative in Joseph Conrad's Heart
of Darkness, Thomas Marlow characterizes events,
ideas, and locations that he encounters in terms
of light or darkness. Embedded in Marlow's
parlance is an ongoing metaphor equating light
with knowledge and civility and darkness with
mystery and savagery. When he begins his
narrative, Marlow equates light and, therefore,
civility, with reality, believing it to be a
tangible expression of man's natural state.
Similarly, Marlow uses darkness to dep...

This is a paper I wrote on the Hollow Men by T. S.
Eliot for an english class of mine a few months
ago. I am currently enrolled at The Uni. of So.
Cal. Hope you enjoy: Eliot starts his poem "The
Hollow Men" with a quote from Joseph Conrad's
novel the Heart of Darkness. The line "Mistake
Kurtz-he dead" refers to a Mr. Kurtz who was a
European trader who had gone in the "the heart of
darkness" by traveling into the central African
jungle, with European standards of life and
conduct. Because he has...

Heart Of Darkness White Men

... is supernatural the way that Kurtz is treated
like a divine creator, his powers are infinite and
he grotesquely abuses them. Kurtz had been so
devoured by the darkness within himself that this
led him to irrational violence. Those who
displeased Kurtz would have to confront his
violent wrath. The remains of these unfortunates
are viewed by the rest of the cult, upon the
stakes that pierce through the remains of their
withered skulls. Marlow, somehow, survives his
confrontation with the darkn...

Vietnam In American Movies
1,531 words
Vietnam in American Movies (1) All four movies:
Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Rambo: First Blood and
The Deer Hunter exploit the theme of Vietnam War
as historical background for the action that take
place on the screen. Therefore, it comes as no
surprise that movies contain ideological
controversies, just as Vietnam War itself. During
the course of Vietnam War, many Americans had a
hard time understanding why our troops were sent
to Vietnam in the first place. It is not just
Vietnamese Communists th...

I had read this story once before when I was a
freshman at a branch campus of Penn State called
Behrend. I read it for a literature class dealing
with short stories and their analy zation. I didn
t really like the story back then, and it really
hasn t moved-up any spots on my list of favorites.
Although I really didn t care for the story, I did
notice quite a bit of symbolism throughout the
book. Conrad seemed to use black and white as his
main source of color symbolism. Just as in the old

Heart Of Darkness Joseph Conrad
1,008 words
Heart of Darkness Heart of Darkness, by Joseph
Conrad is a fictional novel with an overflow of
symbolism. Throughout the entire novel Conrad uses
a plethora of simple colors, objects, and places
in order to clarify very complex meanings. By
doing this, Conrad is able to lure the reader into
a world unlike his or her own: the Congo River,
located in central Africa. Although the
interpretation of these symbols is so elaborate,
the simplicity of each makes it somewhat easy to
overlook. A few exampl...

Heart Of Darkness Points Of View
748 words
The point of view from which a story is told
positions the reader to perceive experiences in
the novel from a certain perspective. This is
particularly true for Joseph Conrad s Heart of
Darkness. Conrad uses two first person narrators
within the text, one within the other; the
nameless frame narrator who describes the
happenings on board the Nellie, and Marlow an
interior character who narrates his adventures in
the Congo. These differentiating points of view
help to convey the symbolic signific...
