Things Fall Apart vs. Heart of Darkness

"Nwoye knows that manhood and violence are correct, but somehow he still likes the story his mother once said" (Achebe 53)

This is about colonial African Caucasian. It does not indicate the true interpretation of Africans themselves in Africa. It has never seen Africa through the eyes of local people. Africans are depicted as animals

This is about black. That is the opposite of HoD. It depicts the Caucasian as a bad man converting them to religion. This is obvious when Okonkwo committed suicide.

Marlow frequently refers to the darkness and brightness that indicates Conrad's racial discrimination. Black represents darkness and white represents brightness

"Someone is behind me! ... Whether you are a spirit or a man, Agbara will shave your head with a dull knife! It may sprain your neck until you see your heel I do not! "(Achebe 74)

"Mr. Smith has a lot of ignorance of his herd, even even the Trinity and the sacraments, which means that they are the seeds planted in the land, Mr. Brown is something other than numbers Knowing the kingdom of God is not to rely on the great crowd Our Lord himself emphasizes the importance of the minority Narrow streets and few numbers It is a crowd of idolatry worshiping the temple Foolish stupidity to fulfill Eternity Impact Our Lord spent only one whip in his life - I drove the crowd out of his church "(Achebe 130)

"The black shape lies among the trees, leans against the trunk, clings to the earth with every suffering, giving up hopelessly and becoming hopeless attitudes. Now they are not on the earth but only diseases and hungry black shadows One of these creatures squat down and I will walk to the river side to drink over the river. "(Conrad 17)

"The distorted mangrove invasion seems to have been written to us at the extreme of hopeless despair" (14)

Separation of the center of darkness and things shows different ways Africa can be presented in literature. In the dark heart, Joseph Conrad showed Africa from the perspective of colonial Europeans. And they tended to depict all local people as barbarians. In response to the Conrad's African stereotypical account, Cinnave Cave was not a primitive man, but as a member of a rich society, wrote "collapse of things" from the perspective of local people to show Africans. Though he fought for prestige in the community, things left Okonkwo 's life. When a European missionary came to Umuofia, a family of Okonkou, Okonkou tried to protect the culture that missionaries would destroy under the name of "civilized" locals. However, his rigorous spirituality and violence are against his expectations, and European readers' eyes have a stereotype of wild Africans.

The tragic collapse of things and the heart of darkness broke up in the dark heart of Conroad and the problem of Acehbe and the role of Africa was intertwined. It was considered to be very primitive, and the belief system of Africa was devalued. The two heroes in the novel are very similar, especially in one aspect. They all collapsed. This is a very important topic in both books. Aristotle will say that this is a corruption of two "tragic heroes". But even these two people warned, "Watch out for the okon!" She warned. "Take care to exchange words with Agualla, can people speak when God speaks? Please be careful!" - Chinua Achebe, things will fall apart, Ch. 11 "It is similar to starting a new life without energy and enthusiasm of youth, it is the same as learning to be left-handed after retirement." - Chinua Achebe, things are falling apart, Ch . 14 "When your fingers are greasy, you will pollute others." 111 "Just like learning, there is no youthful energy and enthusiasm, it is like starting life again.
