lindagetnet14 's review for:
Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Keep-track-of-what's-going-on challenge.
This was just Marlowe wandering around colonial Africa, having random beef with people, being morally conflicted, and then telling his story in a way that is not chronological at all. His hangup with Kurtz's last words too *cries*. It was interesting how the fiance had a differing interpretation though. Ambiguity and Modernist fiction.
Also, there could be something to be said about the portrayal of Africa and the natives there being a reflection of Imperial beliefs (descriptions of African characters, concerns regarding the civilization in that it's dismissed, the religion, and how African characters do not get dialogue. Even the novel's title "Heart of Darkness"; the metaphor of Darkness where it's repeated many times in the novel itself).
