In Joseph Conrad’s short story, Heart Of Darkness, he utilizes long paragraphs to help create a sense of being in the wilderness. He also employs the usage of the double negative to help create a sense of confusion in the reader that is similar to what the characters are feeling. Conrad describes how the “earth seems unearthly.” This illustrates how in the “savage wilderness” the human condition is not what the typical human expects. Conrad’s ability to draw the reader into the story with his literary tools enables his story, Heart of darkness, to be one of the greatest short stories of all time.
