With the development of Ecocriticism in the late 20th century, Ecofeminism also made its presence felt in literary studies, and critics have since begun to develop the insights of Ecofeminism as a component of literary criticism.Ecocriticism bases itself on the a philosophy and movement born from the union of feminist and ecological thinking and the belief that the social mentality that leads to the domination and oppression of women is directly connected to the social mentality that leads to the abuse of the natural environment.This paper attempts to read Conrads classic Heart of Darkness through the lens of the Ecofeminist revision to explore Conrads attitude and treatment of nature and women and conclude that both imperialist and patriarchal ideologies have colluded in the silencing and subjugation of nature and women.Meanwhile, this thematic exploration also reveals the writers ambivalent attitude toward colonialism and women due to the influence of collective unconsciousness.
