1Why the book’s title is Heart of Darkness
The story happened in Congo the heart of Africa and the color of people’s skin in there is black Most important point about the title is to the evil in humans’ heart
2What is the symbolism of black and white
Black dark death evil ignorance mystery savagery uncivilized
Middle Ages when science and knowledge was suppressed as the Dark Ages
According to Christianity in the beginning of time all was dark and God created light
According to Heart of Darkness before the Romans came England was dark In the same way Africa was considered to be in the dark stage
White lightlife goodness enlightenment civilized religion
Yet in Concrad the usual pattern is reverse and darkness means truth(The truth within therefore dark and obscure) whiteness means falsehood This contrast tells a political truth about colonialism in the Congo The contrast also suggests a psychological truth about Marlow and the Europeans mind
White also suggests any number of unpleasant moral truths The trade in ivory is white and dirtyKurtz the white man is totally corrupt
3Comment
The book implies that civilizations are created by the laws and codes that encourage men to achieve higher standards The law acts as a buffer to prevent men from reverting back to their darker tendencies
Civilization however must be learned London itself in the book a symbol of enlightenment was once one of the darker places of the earth before the Romans forced civilization upon the BritonsBut civilized society does not get rid of primeval savage tendencies which lurk in the background
This savagery is seen in Kurtz Marlow meets Kurtz and he finds a man that has totally thrown off the restraint of civilization and has deevolved into a primitive state
4Character
Kurtz represents what every man will become if left to his own intrinsic desires without a protective civilized environment
Marlow represents the civilized soul that has not been drawn back into savagery by a dark alienating jungle
5Narrative Structure
In Heart of Darkness we have an outside narrator telling us a story he has heard from Marlow The story Marlow tells centers around KurtzHowever most of what Marlow knows about Kurtz he has learned from othersThey have good reason for not being truthful to Marlow Therefore Marlow has to piece together much of Kurtz’s story

Paul Moreldepends heavily on his mother’s love and help to make sense of the world around him He struggle to free from his mother’s influence but he failed After his mother has died and he is left alone in despair
Theme
Lawrence was one of the first novelists to introduce themes of psychology into his works He believed that the healthy way of the individual’s psychological development lay in the primacy of the life implulse or in another term the sexual impulsehuaman sexuality was to Lawrence a symbol of life forceby presenting the psychological experience of indivudual human life and of human relationships Lawrence has opened up a wide new territory to the novel
