Greed And Paranoia In The Heart Of Darkness
785 wordsTo me, the Heart of Darkness was all about Humanities self interest. There was a lot of greed and plotting going on which lead to paranoia and self-doubt. To me, paranoia, self-doubt, and mental instability are inevitable when greed takes over peoples lives. I think that is what happened in Kurtz's life. I believe that Marlow went into this adventure looking to make money to survive, but more so he was looking for adventure. When he was little, he dreamed about exploring the world and I believe ...
