There are three main topics to discuss when it comes to analyzing Conrad's Heart of Darkness: symbolic interpretations, character development, and language. Heart of Darkness has an abundance of almost subliminal nuances. This novella is written with such precision and detail that almost every paragraph has a significant role to play in the overall plot.

At first glance, you might think that little happens in this passage - after all, most of it is taken up with a single conversation - but, upon closer inspection, you can gain a great deal of knowledge about the characters and the deeper nuances that go into them. characterize. the novel.
