ENGA10H3 Lecture 3: ENGA10 lecture 3 notes Heart of Darkness
Document Summary
The main points of heart of darkness and similarity to dorian gray: The information we receive is not true or right, it"s just information (similar to how kurtz receives information from people like the manager, but the information is not right, it"s just from their perspective) Adapting to something is not the same as learning (the savages as so called by kurtz, are not learning to adapt per se, they"re just trying to survive by adapting) Heart of darkness ties in with dorian gray: dorian gray doesn"t have any choice in the roads he took because of lord henry and lack of choice is basically lacking free will. Similar to how the congo natives don"t have any free will, they just serve for capitalism. *with wisdom being at the top, because information and knowledge is nothing without wisdom, because wisdom comes from experience. Marlow (heart of darkness) is just an uninformed spectator.
