In the legendary 'Heart of Darkness', Joseph Conrad takes readers on a haunting journey through the African interior, as sailor Charles Marlow recounts his assignment as captain for a Belgian company. This novella is a powerful critique of European colonial rule in Africa and explores the themes of power dynamics and morality. Conrad draws parallels between London and Africa as places of darkness, challenging the idea that there is little difference between "civilized people" and "savages." The story follows Marlow's fascination with Kurtz, an ivory trader who has "gone native" and is the object of Marlow's expedition. As Marlow journeys upriver to Kurtz's trading post, he confronts the horrors of imperialism and the consequences of unchecked power.
