Should We Read "Heart of Darkness"
- Answering this question is difficult because in order to analyze its worthiness, you have to first read it in depth
- Heart of Darkness should be read as literature rather than historical or autobiographical fiction, because of its narrative style and the recurring themes (personification of darkness, ironic tone, apocalypse)
- Misinterpreted as a seamen's yarn
- Should be read as an "exemplary revelation of the ideology of capitalist imperialism, including its racism and sexism"
