Heart of Darkness and London
[2023-12-22 14:57:02]
The Heart of Darkness and London are written by writers who want to emphasize the individuality of group systems. Joseph Conrad and William Blake have been separated from each other for many years. And it shows the destruction of 'civilization' where humans live within a certain range. The writer believes that boundaries and principles in civilization will lead to a society that is moved only by the success of thinking. Both writers live in an era of rapid changes in their social experience.
Heart of Darkness: The title is ambiguous. "Dark heart" means the center of darkness (涩涩, mystery, evil, evil). In the story, it applies to Central Africa, but London is explained as the center of "dull darkness". As this sentence may also mean "human heart is dark" (fuzzy, mysterious, evil, or evil), depictions of the Kurtz are expected. Darkness is also included in stories: "Personal or human death," dark ages "during civilization, hatred, original, incredible, unknown, map. Light is related to civilization and truth, but it is related to brightness and fire destruction. Whiteness is related to hypocrisy, ivory, bone, death, fog, and not mapped. Therefore, this title properly introduces rumors of the story, paradox, and mystery (Conrad 97).
This is a contradictory city in many ways, so this is a convincing paradox for Victorian London. "Is this the heart of the empire or the heart of the dark?" This shows the ambiguity of those days. "This monster London is a really new city," Charles Pasco wrote in 1888. London is certainly a city with advanced inventions and new wisdom, but it is also a monster because of poverty and difficulties. Some people have noticed the grace of trade and commerce, others have only seen all these attractive and tragic aspects. For some people new traffic in the city supplies energy, but for some people this new speed causes confusion. Of course, there are major objections between wealthy people and the poor, and they live in contradictory cities.
"Heart of Darkness" is open on board but it is not one of the Conrad Ocean Story commercial ship. Instead, it is a private yacht, Nelly moored at Gravesend about 32 miles east of London. The five male friends who gathered on the ship were seafarers, but as Conrad did himself, everyone except Marlow changed his career. As soon as it was replaced by a steam force like sail, Marlowe was introduced to us as an anchorism, but still devoted to the career left by his companion. When he was in a "dark" gathering, he began to recall his work as a "freshwater crew".
