"Joseph Conrad, author of the Heart of Darkness creates the idea of nihilism. Darkness created a fascination resulting to an obsession with Marlow, the main protagonist in the story. He is on a quest for some shimmer of light in the heart of darkness, the African Congo. Kurtz, a man with no morals or any self-restraint intrigues Marlow by his abrupt change in lifestyle. Marlow hopes to find a glimmer of light in Kurtz, but shockingly fails to do so. In the acceptance of darkness, Marlow is desperate in finding some glimmer of light, but in the end only attains inner peace instead of finding the light itself."More papers on "The Heart of Darkness":
