"Heat of Darkenss"

“Heart of Darkness” set perhaps as a tell of colonial enterprise, it demonstrates the cruelty and harsh aspects of slavery and torture. Conrad describes this journey through Marlow as a narrator, revealing the true aspects of colonial slavery. We see Kurtz as an influent person whose life is built in a system based on opportunism. He is conscious in the way he demeans the African population, and forces them into work. Kurtz as seen through time and history, thinks this transformation can be achieved through slavery and inequality; believing that this would be the optimum way of introducing Africans to what he considers a civilized society. This attempt of transformation or conversion, as mention is another blog is a cruel ideology where color and race is embraced, where white people are look as intellectual individuals who have been given the right to rule and judge believes. “Heart Of Darkness” exposes this issue that is still latent in many cultures today.
