HOD So far... p.75

Heart of Darkness opens in a very bright setting of a boat heading to Africa. I don't like the books main character Marlow. Although the book opens with a very bright setting he contrasts the setting sharply. He twits the book into a dark black hole. Throughout the novel Marlow takes what seems to be good and turn it into bad. He is also going to Africa for what we consider today to be all the wrong reasons. As the book progresses more of Freud seems to show in Marlow. It seems as though Marlow is about to jump down the rabbits whole and spiral and crash he is not heading into the right direction and is only follow in the authors Joseph Conrad's foot steps.
