Heart of Darkness


I know many of you (students) are frustrated with Heart of Darkness. Many even question the point of it. As human beings we are always struggling with the conflict between right and wrong. It is a major part of our existence. You can call it evil/sin/morals-whatever you like. The bottom line is that we have all experienced it on some level.


I posted this clip from The Empire Strikes Back to show how prominent a theme it is in storytelling. Check it out. Are there any similarities to the novel?


If you have ever seen the film The Hunted, it presents a very similar story as well.
Just remember! Exaggeration is also a part of good story telling.
