Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a book that exposes the myth behind colonisation and at the same time explores 3 levels of darkness i.e.:
-the darkness of the Congo wilderness
-the darkness of the Congo wilderness
-the darkness of the European's cruel treatment of the natives
-the darkness within every human being for committing heinous acts of evil
Author Conrad himself had experienced the brutality of European attitudes in the Congo while he worked as a captain of a steamboat on the Congo river.
