Do Metaphors and Similes of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad Reflect Colonial Mindset?
View through CrossRef
Heart of Darkness (1902) by Joseph Conrad has been used as an example of a Euro-centric view of colonialism by critics for a long. This study will expose how the metaphors and similes of Heart of Darkness reflect Conrad’s prejudice about Africa and the Africans while he considers Europe the centre of civilization. The metaphors and similes show that not only did the incidents that took place in Africa change the view of the narrators, but the views expressed were preconceived from the standpoint of a colonizer. This study will use postcolonial theories, especially the foundational texts like Culture and Imperialism by Edward Said and Can the Subaltern Speak? by Gayatri Chakrabarty Spivak, as the theoretical framework.
