《黑暗的心脏》在通篇的叙事中展现出第一叙事人马罗的男权话语。他对女性充满了歧视与贬诋,从而将女性的存在埋没于男权的视域之下。然而,男人在蔑视女人之时却忽视自身的女性特质。而女性非但如马罗所言被动与失语,她们积极,有力且富于光彩。 The Dark Heart shows the patriarchal discourse of Marou, the first narrator, throughout the narrative. He is full of discrimination and denigration of women, thus undermining the existence of women under the patriarchal line of sight. However, men neglect their own femininity when despising women. Women are not only passive and aphasic like Maruo, they are active, powerful and full of glory.
