Autobiographical Element Heart of Darkness
Most of the Victorian novelist where the victim of
exploitation disaster and poverty due to imperialism class conflict and
colonism: Charles Dickens as a novelist
in autobiographical in David Copperfield and Joseph Conrad becomes autobiographical.
In the heart of Darkness, some novelist Express themselves in the first personal method where
as some of them create a character and get themselves expressed by him or her.
In the proceeding of the novel , in heart of Darkness Marlowe explains
everything on the behalf of novelist himself. Among the Traveling party sent by
European company for adventures, Marlowe is included and he express whatever he
find in the forest of Congo. In personal
life, the father of Joseph Conrad throughout his life, suffers due to exilement
by the Russian government from the country of Poland and along with him his mother and himself he
had to undergo a number of tribal and poverty in his life.
Joseph conrad load
had to suffer a lot not only financially but also socially and Psychologically.
In this tragedy of the life in the first
stage, the rule of Russian government,
the death of his father, his mother, his own life once at stake could not be
over looked by writing novels. The life of Kurtz who represented the democratic
spirit of Revolt and who was imprisoned and and force his death for want of medical treatment can't be set aside. The death of his father pears a similarity. Marlowe sometime play the role of Lord Buddha because
the later life Conrad forgave everybody
but could not react against the European imperialist exploratory attitude to
the people of Congo here reflection of merciful, compassionate and survile life
of Lord Buddha can be seen in the life of Conrad who read much to write many
books but was never revengeful as a person and as a writer therefore it can be
said the heart of Darkness has many autobiographical element in the heart of Darkness.
