    Madness is something rare in individuals‚ but in groups‚ parties‚ peoples‚ ages it is the rule. (Nietzsche‚ 1886) The general idea of this quote is quite simple. We happen to find ourselves in a society where‚ if every member of said society were to be examined and tested‚ we would find him or her to be relatively sane‚ rational and good in nature. However‚ if we put all of these people in a group‚ and examine how this gathering would function collectively‚ we would find such erratic behaviour

This can mainly be perceived in the life of Mr. Kurtz‚ as his descent into madness can be seen as an allegory for the colonization and destruction of the African continent and its people by the

    Written IOC – Heart of Darkness Extract "Going up that river was like traveling back to the earliest beginnings of the world‚ when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty stream‚ a great silence‚ an impenetrable forest. The air was warm‚ thick‚ heavy‚ sluggish. There was no joy in the brilliance of sunshine. The long stretches of the water-way ran on‚ deserted‚ into the gloom of over-shadowed distances. On silvery sand-banks hippos and alligators sunned themselves

    In the novel Heart of Darkness the focus is mainly about the situation of imperialism in that time period.

Marlow is the narrator and throughout the novel his visions and thoughts about himself change greatly as he endures the journey of self-discovery.
