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...

Heart Of Darkness Marlow Sees
1,675 wordsIt is interesting to note that the female characters in Heart of Darkness seem to stand in a category of their own. It is queer how out of touch with women are.

Considering Heart of Darkness as a journey of self-discovery, Marlow s assertion seems to deny women the right or the need for the quest for truth. Conrad has suggested an ironic ambiguity, a confusion of light and dark about their nature, although the women themselves are not...
