Résumé
Heart of Darkness is a profound and haunting novella by Joseph Conrad that delves into the complexities of imperialism, human nature, and moral ambiguity. Set during the height of European colonial expansion into Africa, the story follows Charles Marlow, a seasoned seaman and thoughtful observer, as he recounts his harrowing journey into the Congo Free State to a group of fellow sailors anchored on the River Thames.
Marlow is commissioned by a Belgian trading company to pilot a steamboat up the Congo River in search of Mr. Kurtz, an enigmatic and charismatic ivory trader who has become both a legend and a mystery. As Marlow ventures deeper into the uncharted interior, he witnesses the brutal realities of colonial exploitation-enslavement, violence, and the dehumanization of the native population-contrasted starkly with the so-called "civilizing mission" of Europe.
Kurtz, once a man of promise and eloquence, has succumbed to the primal forces of the jungle and has established himself as a demigod among the indigenous people, operating outside any moral or legal bounds. By the time Marlow finds him, Kurtz is physically and mentally broken, yet terrifyingly lucid in his final moments, uttering the cryptic and chilling last words: "The horror! The horror!"Through Marlow's introspective narration, Conrad exposes the darkness not only at the heart of colonial Africa but also within the human soul.
The novella challenges the notion of civilized superiority and critiques the hypocrisy of imperialism, suggesting that the line between civilization and savagery is thin and easily crossed.
