《黑暗的心》是康拉德以马洛的回忆展开叙述,根据一八九0年在刚果的亲身经历写成的,讲述了马洛到非洲探险的所见所闻。只有小说的叙述者马洛本人和马洛在探险过程中经常听闻的“名人”库尔兹,还有马洛探险前后见到的几位女性。然而,这几个女性却有着一些突出的性格特点,给人留下较为深刻的印象,并且通过对她们的形象进行对比分析,我们还可以窥探康拉德对于殖民主义的态度和看法。 “Dark Heart” is a narrative written by Conrad Mallow and based on his experience in the Congo in 1890, which tells the story of Marlowe’s exploration of Africa. Only the narrator Marlow himself and Marlowe often heard of “celebrity” Kurz in the process of expedition, and several women who met before and after Malo adventure. However, these women have some outstanding personality traits, leaving a deep impression on them. And through the comparative analysis of their images, we can also glimpse Conrad’s attitude toward colonialism.
