康拉德出生在波兰,成长在海上,他热爱波兰却又加入英国国籍,虽然加入了英国国籍,但对自己作为流放者的边缘地位始终保持着一种清醒的意识。《黑暗的心》被视为一个矛盾体:一方面颠覆帝国主义扩张的霸权主义,巧妙抨击殖民暴行,字里行间却体现了作者反殖民主义的思想,另一方面却建构出康拉德的帝国主义情结。本文从帝国主义情结和反殖民主义双重思想来分析《黑暗的心》的矛盾思想。 Conrad was born in Poland and grew up at sea. He loves Poland but joins British nationality. Although he joined British nationality, he maintained a clear awareness of his marginal position as an exile. The “dark heart” is seen as a paradox: on the one hand, it subverts the hegemonism of imperialist expansion and cleverly attacks the colonial atrocities. The lines reflect the author’s anti-colonialist thinking, on the other hand, it constructs Conrad’s imperialism Complex. This article analyzes the contradictory thought of “dark heart” from the dual ideas of imperialism and anti-colonialism.
