First, Heart of Darkness explores the themes of colonialism and imperialism. This novel was made in the late nineteenth century and the main character Marlow was heading from the outside station along the Congo River toward the inside station - a journey of the image of the cruel and tortured white's dominant territory. . On this journey, on another level, Marlow can see as a journey of philosophy that casts doubt on his own Kurtz, and in a larger view a doubt on the Western Europe / Europe / White 'civilization' itself.
