A 3 page essay that discusses Conrad's classic novel in relation to European imperialism. In Joseph Conrad's deeply psychological novel Heart of Darkness, his narrator, who is known simply as Marlow, comes to Africa as a young man, presumably in search of fortune and opportunity, but the reader actually never meets this possibly idealistic, young Marlow, as the man who relates the narrative is doing on the deck of the Nellie, a "cruising yawl," which is anchored within "sea-reach of the Thames," waiting for the tide to turn (Conrad 65). In the story, this older, cynical and mentally damaged Marlow relates, Conrad explores the paradoxes of British imperialism in the late nineteenth century. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
