This cycle of evil begins and ends in this town. Describing the town as white is misleading‚ because the town holds an obvious feeling of death. Conrad makes it clear that this is a deception that the darkness

Conrad is very straightforward in his views on Imperialism and blatantly puts forth the loot of “Ivory” by the “jolly pioneers of progress”.
