Heart of Darkness - A Reform Piece or Racist Trash?

The center of fragment of dark reform, racist garbage. In 1890, Joseph Conrad spent four months in the Congo. Like his character Marlow, Conrad is in poor health due to his experience and is very angry. Congo tormented Conrad but spent only a relatively short time there, but I felt it was necessary to write down my experience in a few years 1 Indeed, Congo had a big impact on Conrad It was. So, he met a Roger Casement. And he became a lifelong friend and alliance during the campaign with Leopold II.

Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe considers Dark Heart as a racist. He felt that Conrad opposed the novel as a manifestation of "African Caucasian Race Discrimination" using darkness to symbolize the negative character of Africa (Achebe, 1975). I am against objecting novels as purely racist literature. Conrad is living in a time when certain racial prejudices are very common and looks natural, but he seems to write this novel as "to expose greed and imitation of imperialism" (Cedre) . Throughout the novel, he has repeatedly referred to colonialism and white racist. In the early stages of the novel, Murrow commented as follows. "Conquer the earth ... This mainly means to keep away from people who have different skin colors or those who really do compliments than you are, because this is not a good thing, the empire Accuse the principle

British commentator Cedric Watts published the first comprehensive counterargument to Abe's criticism in 1983. His article "Racial discrimination in blood: A Cone's view of Conrad" defends Dark Hearts as an anti-imperialism novel, "Some of its greatness lies in the power to criticize racial prejudice" It suggests. In his book 'Culture and Imperialism', Palestinian American theorian Edward Said agreed that Conrad would criticize imperialism but added: "As a creature of his age, Conrad is a region of rural We were unable to give freedom of freedom. "He strictly criticized the imperialists who enslaved them." Based on Watts and Said, Nidesh Lawtoo said, "Under the direct conflict of the first tier ... We believe we have found a potential imitation continuity between Conrad's African colonial image and Akebe's postcolonial performance. "

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.
