Heart of Darkness - How Do We Encounter Ourselves in the Modern Society

When I read the short story "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, I remembered the article "Reasons for reading a novel" I read in Korea. The author of this article, the most common reason we read people as novels can ask themselves the relationship between justice or injustice in the real world and the justice or inequality of the author's words It is from. In this way, the short story "The Darkness of the Mind" depicts Conrad's experience and thought through the story of two important figures, Mr. Marlow and Mr. Stars.

The darkness of the mind is filled with every environment, scene, and character in Joseph Conrad's novel "Darkness of the Mind". The darkness symbolizes the moral turmoil Charlie Marlow encounters and the moral reconciliation he himself has while looking for a cargo.

England dominates the road to the Suez Canal and the source of the Nile on the east coast of Africa
