Heart Of Darkness

I'm sure this has been said already, but I find the main theme of the book, the hypocrisy of imperialism and all the evils that encompasses, quite entertaining. The idea of shoving society in your face and saying "this is what it is" and displaying all the follies involved is quite invigorating. It's nice to see a novel throw away all the ideas that a society (granted in their naivte) held dear to them, all to show them how decrepit and how animal-like they have become. Imperialism and society at the time was pretty dark and Conrad's novel brought everything to light. The author brought out all the dark issues from Africa and put them out for all to see.
