The heart of darkness and revelation: Death of Kurtz, Joseph Conrad, wrote the center of darkness to hide complaints with Congolese European imperialism. He explained the confusion and cruelty found in the Congo and persuaded European people that he should move away from Africa. Francis Ford Coppola used Apocalypse Now to hide his dissatisfaction with US involvement in Vietnam. He portrays the ruthless massacres of countless Vietnamese people and showed the Americans that the United States is increasing harm over the benefits of Vietnam.

Willard was told that Kurz is crazy and no longer under the command of the army. Since the action of Kurz does not match the taste of the military, he ordered Willard to assassinate. Willard looked for a Kurtz in the Nun river and eventually found him and killed him. At the end of his life, Kurtz said "Horror! Horror!" (394)
