Novelists (Realists)

1. Joseph Concrad

①<Lord Jim>吉姆爷

②<Heart Of Darkness>黑暗的心

1.Why 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.

2.What 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,

英国文学史及选读 期末复习资料

Africa was considered to be in the “dark stage”.

【White / light】life, 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 dirty.Kurtz

the white man is totally corrupt

http://ment

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

Britons.But 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 de-evolved into a primitive state.

4.Character

【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.

5.Narrative 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 Kurtz.However, most of what Marlow knows about Kurtz,

he has learned from others.They have good reason for not being

truthful to Marlow. Therefore Marlow has to piece together much of

Kurtz s story.
