** An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's " Heart of Darkness " –

Following the success of The Godfather, The Conversation and The Godfather Part II, Coppola began filming Apocalypse Now, an adaptation of Conrad ’ s Heart of Darkness set in Cambodia during the Vietnam War ( Coppola himself briefly appears as a TV news director ).

Heart of Darkness is a novella, written by Joseph Conrad, that is presented in the form of a frame narrative ( a story within a story ).

Then later, in 1902, Heart of Darkness was included in the book " Youth: a Narrative, and Two Other Stories " ( published November 13th 1902, by William Blackwood ).

The volume consisted of Youth: a Narrative, Heart of Darkness, and The End of the Tether in that order, to loosely illustrate the three stages of life.

In Conrad's words, regarding Heart of Darkness: In a letter to Henry-Durand Darvay, dated April 10th 1902, Joseph Conrad wrote ( French: translated below ):

:" I call your own kind self to witness [...] the last pages of Heart of Darkness where the interview of the man and the girl locks in — as it were — the whole 30000 words of narrative description into one suggestive view of a whole phase of life and makes of that story something quite on another plane than an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Centre of Africa.

In 2010, Heart of Darkness was classified by the Modern Library website editors as one of the " 100 best novels " and part of the Western canon.

The story Heart of Darkness focuses on Charles Marlow as he recounts an exotic adventure to a close group of men aboard a sailboat anchored in the Thames Estuary.

T. S. Eliot's use of a quotation from Heart of Darkness —" Mistah Kurtz, he dead "— as an epigraph to the original manuscript of his poem The Hollow Men contrasted its dark horror with the presumed " light of civilization ," and suggested the ambiguity of both the dark motives of civilization and the freedom of barbarism, as well as the " spiritual darkness " of several characters in Heart of Darkness.

Though evidence suggests Heart of Darkness may be pessimistic, Joseph Conrad ’ s Darwinian world view can counter this understanding.

This materialistic mysticism sets the backdrop for a majority of the motifs in Heart of Darkness.

Heart of Darkness attests to Conrad ’ s paradigm through its motif of, as Sandya Shetty puts it, “ ontradictions, ambiguities, and discontinuities .” Conrad contradicts himself in the novel both to discourage people from believing that they can understand the world and, paradoxically, to encourage people to explore the vast awe inspiring world more.

As with the misconception that Marlow is hypocritical, only a few characters in Heart of Darkness are actually depraved.

Though Heart of Darkness seems to represent a nightmarish gathering of the wicked, the novella contains mostly holy savages.

In a post-colonial reading, the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe, author of Things Fall Apart, famously criticized Heart of Darkness in his 1975 lecture An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's " Heart of Darkness ", saying the novella de-humanized Africans, denied them language and culture and reduced them to a metaphorical extension of the dark and dangerous jungle into which the Europeans venture.
