Abstract

Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness unveils a story about a journey to the inner self to find the mysteries of human mind.

This paper attempts to examine the foreshadows and symbols which Conrad uses in this novella;however, the discussion is limited to the ones that appear in The Brussels CompanysMain Office.
