ANALYSIS OF THE HEART OF DARKEBLES: TRAVEL TO ABIAS

Introduction

Social criticism within different literary works is a method used to judge different habits whether good or bad and cultural ways or methods of a place, in order to arrive persuade people in their way of thinking or even to be able to seek a changewithin society. The heart of darkness is a narrative novel made by the British writer of Polish origin Joseph Conrad published in 1899, and written in the time of expansion of the great powers of those times: Belgian, British, French, Spanish, Spanish. Which tells us about the same Conrad characterized by Marlow a sailor vagabond.

Developing

Since childhood, this character shows great interest in discovering new places, such as Antarctica or the African continent mostly unknown, some time later at 33 years and thanks to his aunt, Marlow is hired by a Belgian ivory exporter company, forGo to meet the mysterious and at the same time enigmatic character named Kurtz who is lost, and that within the company there are fantastic stories of this person. Marlow, entering the African territory, will realize the barbarity and lack of civilization that the European colonizing empire had at that time, in the same way the mystery of wanting to find the truth about Kurtz is increasing.

Marlow when entering the heart of darkness, he could observe, battered slaves, chained and subjected doing very hard work, with minimal remuneration, people psychologically upset by racism that at that time was something very normal, but that today is aextremely delicate social problem.

Therefore, throughout this essay, his fundamental goal will be to cover the main social problem that is racism, as well as the savagery that existed in Africa, arguing the different phrases said by Marlow himself throughout his journey through that mysterious junglewhere racism is also an important issue.

Racism is a social problem that consists in being a form of distribution of privileges in which it is determined who has opportunities and who does not, racism is a normal practice which was intensified in the ancient nineteenth -century Europe and at the beginning of the beginning of the20th century that served as a criterion to be able to control the conquered colonies, and that would serve for the exploitation of them, it is the exact case of the Belgian company that contracts Marlow, since in this the Native Africans were forced to work hard hardThat is why Joseph Conrad characterized as Marlow says: The conquest of the Earth for the most part consists only of snatching it. 

This is nothing but snatching it from those who have a different skin or nose slightly more flattened than us. In this phrase said by Marlow we can affirm the way in which the empires snatched the African territories, making an approach to their skin color, demonstrating racism and the feeling of superiority that people had at that time, we can also seeThe interest of companies which exceed human principles and the destruction of territories, with the sole purpose of obtaining economic profits. So it serves as social criticism and to make people of that time understand cruelty and brutality.

This problem was also giving in that period the interest of different companies when trying to overexploot their colonies. Marlow also said a phrase referring to that jungle in which humanity had been destroyed, showing its monstrous side: “A country covered with swamps, marches through forests, somewhere inside the sensation that savagery, savagery,Extreme savagery, surrounds it. All that mysterious and primitive life that is stirred in the forest, in the jungles, in the heart of the wild man. There is no initiation for such mysteries. He must live amid the incomprehensible, which is also detestable. 

And there is in all this a fascination that begins to work on it. And there is in all this a fascination that begins to work on it. The fascination of the abominable. You can imagine the growing regret, the desire to escape, the impotent disgust, hate."This phrase said by Marlow, tries to explain to her comrades cruelty and terror when she saw the savagery that existed in that place, since as we can know Marlow is the replacement of Fresleven a young Danish, who was killed for having had a fightWith some natives for chickens, demonstrating the despair of the African natives.

And despair when they want to leave that place where they are enslaved and mistreated having low living conditions. In this due to history one can realize that a civilization is given thanks to internal control. There is talk of the person who has within himself, such as the way in which he gets his work Marlow that was thanks to the help of his aunt, who civilly and without showing any pressure or aggression manages to fulfill the desireFrom his nephew, however, savagery within history is shown as an absolute horror that can change to someone as is the case of Kurtz who despite the strong character that this person has. 

conclusion

To the point where you could say that it begins to murmur phrases. They say phrases without senses like Marlow says: “But I heard him murmur: he lives rightly, dies, dies. I heard it. But there was nothing else. Was he rehearsing a speech in the midst of sleep, or was it a fragment of a phrase of any journalistic article? He had been a journalist, and tried to be again."Savajismo even changes Marlow as when he says:" I don’t own my own thought ". Making us fall into account that this was psychologically affected, for having been the protagonist and having seen the traumatic situations that occurred in that wild environment.
