Joseph Conrad’s nouvelle or rather said mysterious work is not being easily understood let alone assessed. But each reader of Heart of Darkness should try to solve the mystery the author has opened. The setting reveals itself to be a mystery within the mystery. What is really the setting of Conrad’s nouvelle? And is it at all important to the work as a whole? Is it the

    Discuss the use of imagery of light and dark in the novel. In Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men‚ the imagery of light and dark is used to deepen the themes of the normal. Sometimes darkness or "light lifting" can mean more than one thing. In this essay I would explore this subject. "Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows of the bunkhouse‚ inside it was dust". This shows that the light tries to get in but never manages to penetrate the darkness.
