The Heart of Darkness (CRR)

It feels like an eternity when reading the Heart of Darkness for the first time. This novel has been considered a great novella by the English literature. The book addresses the good and evil that exist in an environment and foreshadowed many of the themes that define modern literature. Conrad is an expert in literary devices, and his style of writing leaves the reader thinking. This is why this book was difficult to read, but pulling out evidence for our essay was easy to find. Breaking down the evidence can take a lot of time because there is a lot of interpretation one can make about a quote or a section of the book. Moreover, the book itself has many interpretation into why Conrad's chooses to write about Marlow experience of rescuing a company agent from a remote station in the heart of the Congo. Marlow describes the atmosphere of the Congo River as a mysterious and perilous place.What Marlow sees on his journey horrifies him, and what he encounter with Kurtz reveals questions and assumptions about civilization, human nature, the dark side of a person, and the effects of imperialism that we all touch upon in our final essay based on Marlow's description. At the end day, I am glad were done with the book and we learned how to break down this difficult text.
