Hello Readers,
What in the novel main aspect is that,
here explain.
We see everything thorough the narrator’s
Marlow’s eyes who calls the people of Africa “creatures” as if they were not
human, they were not good enough for the Europeans, and “savages” which also
represents the opinion of the civilised Europe where everything is better;
Europeans are enlightened, educated, technologically and scientifically
advanced, cherish art and literature. Europe and it’s culture is seen as the
bright light, the future of humankind as opposed to savage, ignorant, primitive
Africa where there is no future and only the darkness prevails:
“I felt as
though, instead of going to the centre of a continent, I were about to set off
for the centre of the earth“The barbarism of the natives reinforces the effect of these
descriptive passages and intensifies the atmosphere of mystery and fear.
Reading about the natives, we get an even stronger impression that we are in the
midst of darkness.
Thank You.............
