The Darkness of Colonialism and Imperialism in Heart of Darkness

Dark central colonyist light and dark Conrad established his view on colonialism through Marlow at the beginning of his novel "Dark Heart". He said that the conqueror only used the brute force saying "there is nothing that has self esteem." It happens by chance from the weakness of others. Mahlow compared the story of the subsequent colonial period with the story of Roman Northern European colonialism and the attraction related to such efforts. But when we examined the slack in the novel in detail, Marlow challenged this by painting a terrible picture of colonial business fear.

Only when it was suggested that colonialism could not function properly, a dark heart came. This time seems like the highest point of the empire, it is a time when Africa is optimistic about colonialism. However, Conrad was lurking on the floor of "Pax Britannica" whispering as "selling, selling". Imperialism is the central theme of this book, but not just imperialism. Conrad personally explained this in various documents. For example, in a letter from 1899, Conrad wrote that the idea behind "the dark heart" is "efficiency and a purely selfish crime in the solution of African civilization work". In 1902, he wrote to the critic that the center of the darkness is as follows:
