Beyond the shield of civilization, entering the original, untouched border depth is the true face of the human soul. It is in this danger of this savageness and cruelty that man faces inner meditative nature of inner self. Joseph Conrad 's novel "Darkness of the Mind" is a story of insight into the life of a man when he started traveling to the edge of the world. Here, he eventually encountered a bitter but exciting power to shape his own perception of his life and his own personality.

Comparing Shakespeare 's Hamlet and Conrad' s Dark Heart with Marlow, the tragedy of Shakespeare 's famous Prince Hamlet and Marlow' s Dark Heart of Joseph Conrad are all the same. There are different settings and plots on the surface, but the theme elements shared between the two works are very similar. Prince Hamlet and Prince Malo are on the verge of crazy soaked in the world where craziness has yet to succeed. Fundamentally, the similarity of their immersion into the environment is extraordinary.

The use of the symbolic Joseph Conrad by setting some symbolic elements contrasting to the elements to strengthen the theme of the novel. In order to achieve this goal he is highly dependent on metaphor. The whole heart of the dark element is characterized by the repeatability of optical contrast between dark elements. It has its advantages in light, truth, civilization and human figurative meanings. All evil use vague and undeveloped, dark, dark elements. "In the back of the darkness" complex hierarchical interconnection and overlapping symbols were embedded. Conrad using a symbol, metaphor and sarcasm is necessary to convey the theme of the entire story

Symbolism plays an important role in Marlow's story. Joseph Conrad draws individuals in the dark not only as a person but also as a symbol of the deeper level of the story. He compared the good and evil, light and dark with the two main characters, Marlow and Kurtz. Also used as a symbol are other people who Marlow meets in Congo, such as Kurtz's fiancée, brick-made manufacturer, manager, accountant. They all tell stories and play an important role in showing Conrad's true meaning to human thought and its behavior.
