>The point Conrad was trying to make is practically spelled out at the end of the book you retard. Its about the dangers of colonialism for the colonials.
And how the fuck did he think this was going to have an impact then?
The Africans couldn't read
And what little they could, sure as shit wasn't going to be his book
The brits didn't give a fuck, why WOULD anyone??
> It was shown Kurtz couldve been in politics, a businessman, and a poet (this is also told earlier before his death). Yet, instead of his enormous mental capacities for these, he is using it to farm ivory in the deep jungle, where he slowly dies. It ends on a sad note, where the only person to remember him is the narrator, and Kurtz's wife. Not even the people on the boat know who Kurtz is initially.
So are you arguing it was attempting to make an allegorical argument for the carsinigetic nature of colonialism for the europeans??
Interesting take i suppose
I didnt really get that as we aren't exactly led to sympatheis with kurts, but maybe thats just me
>The spear chuckers in the book were mainly to highlight how abysmal the living conditions were for everyone. the main focus is Kurtz and the narrator.
Which is part of why it didnt really resonate with me, given how it seems the natives are no angels themselves (which in fairness was intellectually honest of the writer to his credit)
