heart
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad In Joseph Conrads novel, Heart of Darkness, the term "darkness" can be related to a few different meanings. ... Lai 4 Conrad pictures the wilderness as not just an remote force that is unconcerned with anything else but itself, but rather, a mirror in which one can see clearly the darkness hidden in ones heart. ... He gives up his high aspirations, and the wilderness brings out the darkness and brutality in his heart. ... I think Conrad is trying to imply that every man has a heart of darkness that is usually drowned out by the light of civilization. ... And that I think, is the meaning of the "heart" of darkness, which is the journey of discovering ones true self.
