Besides using the Heart of Darkness text, I will use the psychoanalytic criticism of Karl and Murfin to illuminate the key elements of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. I will use to human condition depicted in Conrad’s work and that expressed by Karl and Murfin to analyze the subconscious versus the conscious. I will also incorporate elements of the natural setting like black versus white to further illustrate the battle between the subconscious and the conscious. Throughout my essay, the criticism of Conrad’s work by the two men and the parallelism to Freudian ideas will enable me to compare and contrast the conscious versus the subconscious.
