HEART OF DARKNESS

Heart of Darkness

written by Joseph Conrad

     This is the story about journey to Africa and also journey to "heart of darkness". Marlow, the main character of this story, told his members about his experience. He worked in a trading company and he had opportunity to go to Africa and saw a lot of cruel things; natives working as slaves. As he spent some time is Africa, he heard one man's name, Kurtz, who was the greatest business man in that company. Marlow started his journey to reach Kurtz. And he found that heart of darkness that everyone have in their deep inside.

   I would like to recommend you to read and think about your life. This is not like a novel or a short story. This is like a book of philosophy. The author experienced that period of time; war and slavery. I thought he found his desire, what is really wanted to do before he died. Also he thought, human's life is fleeting. People hide their true heart others hardly see. If you can see and find the "dark side of people's heart", you may understand them and also yourself more.
