Essay Topics on the Heart of Darkness
The main source for the paper is Joseph Conrad?s Heart of Darkness, but I also want you to integrate where possible evidence from the primary sources we read in connection with imperialism from the Perry Sourcebook. Paper should be 4-6 pages, 12pt. double-spaced. Citations should preferably be done with footnotes, but if using parentheticals, include bibliography at end.
3. Compare the figure of Kurtz in Heart of Darkness with his avatar in Apocalypse Now. You could focus on motives, methods, aims, outcomes, and character. Which one to you is more complex/sympathetic? Which one is a more effective illustration and/or indictment of the collective failure documented by Conrad and Coppola, respectively?
