Achebe's Misinterpretation of Conrad's Heart of Darkness

Misunderstanding of Dark Heart by Achebe Although the dark heart of Joseph Conrad is called classical by many people, many explanations have been received over the years. One of the most remarkable misunderstandings is the "African image of Chinua Cave": Conrad's darkness in racial discrimination. Among them, Acehve pointed out various points in the book. And it is said to prove that Conrad and his book are racists and that this book should be thrown out of the classics of classical literature. This is a mistake and incorrect explanation, and the objectivity of the Akebe is hindered by his anti - West bias.

In the post colonialism study, especially the Nigerian novelist Chinua Acebbe criticized the center of the dark. In 1975 public speech "African Image: Racial Discrimination in Conrad's Darkness", Ahmed expressed A Conrad's novel as "a book with a hatred and disgust" and made Africa. People have lost their human race. Achebe stated that Conrad's "sneak out of alien phobia ... ..." at the time of publication of this book ignored the artistic achievements of the people living in the Congo River, accidentally bringing Africa to Europe I believe I drew it as the opposite of civilization. . He believes that this book continues to promote prejudice against Africa and continues to promote "to annihilate" some of humanity and it should not be regarded as a wonderful work of art .

Many people think Joseph Conrad 's "dark heart" is classic, but many explanations have been raised for years. One of the most famous misunderstandings is Conrad 's misunderstanding as a racist by Chinua Acebbe. It is not just for African people at that time. If Conrad is writing a story in a different way, that is not letting down Africans and Africans, it will not accurately reveal history. It was impossible to regard Conrad as a racist as he was a product of his era and this racial discrimination has been integrated into his language. He used racist remarks to show people how Africans at the time were treated and considered, and Achebe claims that Conrad is a racist in real life I lacked sufficient evidence.
