The Heart of Darkness: A Paradox of Imperialism In The Heart of Darkness‚ Conrad achieves the element of paradox‚ by reflecting on the imperialism of Europe. The author shows how imperialism is costly and ridiculous especially in its conquests of Africa. The profitability does not equal the amount of money it took to try and obtain it.
