Illusion vs. Reality in Heart of Darkness

"Words or states of what actually exists, not their ideal or conceptual concept."

"The difference between past and present is a stubborn illusion" (Einstein)

"We live in a fantasy world, a world filled with fantasy, the big job of life is finding reality." (Iris Murdoch)

The story of Conrad seems like a delusion

Human beings are not civilized, but they are depicted as more humanitarian than pilgrims, and their behavior is lower than that of "civilized" men.

Joseph Conrad can prove how humans think, and there are many misunderstandings and how humans see the world.

The women in the dark show the reality of the women of Joseph Conrad in the early 19th century. They painted the illusion of light and darkness in the story of the image of Conrad there. The African women's delegation destroyed Kurz 's Africa. The intention is to symbolize the illusion and image of the purpose of Kurz. She also represents an example of Conrad of the need for a woman to be protected from the then reality of human beings and the innocence of European women. Representatives of these two women will help define the theme of the story.

The center of darkness is a contrasting story. Conrad created a comparison between perception and reality, innocence and experience, and most importantly primitiveism and civilization. Throughout this story, it appears in what the figurative network is and what it is. In the case of perception and reality, the most prominent example is Marlow's work. The company believes that civilization and knowledge brings a special kind of civilization and knowledge to those regarded as undisclosed or barbarous but brings crazy hints to these "blank places". More creative. He was once considered a god, and through this concept there was a stronger recognition of reality than reality. Kurtz was destroyed by "illness" which eventually killed him. This "illness" is about corruption of civilization, but the administrator has never got sick and proved his integrity.

The two main themes of "heart of darkness" are the contradiction between "reality" and "darkness", and the concept of suppression and whether it is necessary or not. Conrad's article explaining about the control of starvation and cannibalism explains two themes: it explains how reality shapes human behavior and compares the character of Kurz and Marlow. "Reality" used here is defined as "civilized". Conrad emphasizes the truth, darkness, civilization, primitive, colonization, and colonization. I will pierce the heart of the dark. As mentioned above, "reality" in this case covers every meaning of civilized society. Clothes covering human organs, deterring from eating, constant dependence on clocks as dictators.
