Heart of Darkness
In Heart of Darkness, Marlowe’s tale begins and ends in literal darkness and even though Joseph Conrad allows many themes to present themselves, the strongest always prevails, Marlow’s darkness. The setting of the novel is often utterly dark, such as when Marlowe retrieves Kurtz or possibly the black skinned people that live along the Congo River; and, of course, the uncertain, almost eerie tone that suffocates the novel. Darkness can, for example, represent evil, the

Heart of Darkness/ Apocalypse Now
In the opening scenes of the documentary film "Hearts of Darkness-A Filmmaker's Apocalypse," Eleanor Coppola describes her husband Francis's film, "Apocalypse Now," as being "loosely based" on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
