The heart of darkness is about imperialism and takes a step into telling a tale of individuals that embarked on the imperialistic journey from

British Literature and Composition Period 4 Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad wrote Heart of Darkness in 1899. The book was mildly difficult to understand‚ especially because Conrad’s native language was not English. If you went into this book blindly‚ and just read‚ searching for nothing‚ I can almost guarantee you would not understand it. But‚ if you take a closer look‚ you can see the underlying meanings and symbolisms he has partially hidden everywhere. Joseph Conrad’s double-meanings

PROLOGUE:- Darkness. His eyelids are too heavy to lift. His thoughts are wisps of smoke. A man and a woman are talking‚ that much is clear but the words are gibberish. Syllables heard with no meaning attached. The woman’s voice is familiar‚ but in his current state‚ familiar is a reach. The male’s voice is a complete mystery. His arms and legs are bound but he’s unsure what with. It doesn’t feel like rope. Straps maybe? Belts? He is sitting upright in an small‚ uncomfortable chair. The

In Arthur Miller’s‚ The Crucible‚ not much was received‚ except for the revenge of a heart broken girl. I didn’t find this play intriguing like most plays I have read before. If you want to watch a girl throw a tantrum over a guy and get rid of her rivals‚ then I recommend watching Mean Girls or befriend a high school queen bee‚ instead of reading The Crucible. Not much is offered to you other than blame and the act of revenge‚ which was lacked as well. In fact‚ the witch hysteria played a minor
