Comparison of Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket
Writing his Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad could
not have envisioned that Francis Ford Coppola
would transform initial story of a man sent to
Africa into epic picture of the Vietnam War. From
the critical point of view, Coppola managed to
maintain the spirit of Conrad's work extending the
ideas of Apocalypse Now beyond the battlefield
putting them in paths, paths everywhere; a stamped
in network of paths spreading over empty land
(Conrad, 39). ...

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, achieved
classical recognition for its depiction of
humanity's struggle to reconcile good and evil.

remarkable Kurtz has many feminine
characteristics. By the end of the novel, it is
the same feminized wilderness and darkness that
Marlow identifies as being the cause of Kurtz's
mental and physical collapse. In Heart o...
