Conrad’s Heart of Darkness/The Death of Kurtz
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses Joseph Conrad’s short novel Heart of Darkness, which is one of the most “provocative and controversial literary works” of the dawning twentieth century due to the fact that it was the first novel to question “dubious social Darwinist attitudes,” which were used to rationalize the “brutal facts of Empire-building” (Mitchell 20). At the close of the novel, the reaction of Marlow to the death of Kurtz is framed within the context of the African culture and the Congolese and the reaction of Kurtz’s fiancé. Examination of this aspect of the novel demonstrates not only Marlow’s reaction to Africa and Kurtz, but also his perspective on European culture and the role of women. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Construction Of Caribbeanness: Race And Ethnicity
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Deciphering Caribbean attributes within the literary world is not always a simple observation; rather, such depiction requires an inherent knowledge that can only be found in those who place both their hearts and souls into the work. Two authors in particular stand out in this field as successfully portraying Caribbeanness within their writings: Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea" and Maryse Conde's "I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem." The two authors
clearly exemplify the fundamental aspects of Caribbeanness, while at the same time address the vastness of the human condition. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
