Zusatztext

Literature Review from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: University, , course: Modern Novel, language: English, abstract: This short text examines the metaphysical dimension in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Conrad has created Heart of Darkness in such a way that the literary devices of symbolism, imagery, paradox and personification act as a catalyst for bringing out the metaphysical meaning behind the literal text. The physical journey of Marlowe to Congo, the atrocities he witnesses there and the insight he gains all of it is fleshed out and given emblematic form on a metaphysical dimension.
