Independent Novel Study- Theme
|
|
|
|
Theme: is the central topic or dilema in the story.
|
|
The theme directly involves the main character.
|
|
|
|
The story of the Garden of Evil relates to Heart of Darkness in the way
|
|
that the themes are similar. For example the evil that lies within us.
|
|
|
|
Yes I believe that the statement "Evil is Inherent in the Hearts of
|
|
Men" is true. Everybody has evil in them although a restriction would have
|
|
to be put on the statement to say that evil is inherent in men but it is
|
|
the power to overcome the evil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Quest Myth is about an adventure where the adventurer has something
|
|
he is looking for or something he has to do that he has not done yet maybe
|
|
to prove himself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Heart of Darkness is a very good example of a Quest story. Marlowe is
|
|
risking life and limb inorder to fufill his adventure of meeting the
|
|
infamous Mr.Kurtz. Along Marlowe's journey he meets bands of cannibles that
|
|
are ever posing a threat to his life. At the end of Heart of Darkness the
|
|
story becomes a Quest of the self. Marlowe is searching deep within himself
|
|
to comprehend what he is seeing with Mr.Kurtz and within himself he has to
|
|
conquor the evil that could take him over. It is a Quest for Marlowe to
|
|
search for his self being.

|
|
|
|
1. Irony-Occurs when a set of circumstances turn out very differently from
|
|
what was expected..
|
|
Foreshadowing-Gives the reader a hint to what will happen later in the
|
|
story.
|
|
Flashback-When they look bac at what they have done before.
|
|
Point of View-The point the story is told from.
|
|
Imagery-When a sentence or passage gives a good picture as to what is
|
|
going on.
|
|
Archetype-Struggle, Mans struggle for inner innocence.
|
|
Allegory-A story that has a main theme and a hidden moral.
|
|
Satire-To make fun of a situation.
|
|
Diction-refers to style of writing.
|
|
|
|
1. Throughout the story you thought Marlowe would find Kurtz and he would
|
|
be the intelligent person he thought he was. Then near the end people start
|
|
to say that Kurtz is a mad man which is foreshadowing to the end of the
|
|
story.
|
|
|
|
2. The River was the path of his Quest.
|
|
Light represents Marlowes inner self and darkness represents the evil
|
|
that is in Kurtz.
|
|
Kurtz is representing Marlowe's Quest.
|
|
Ivory represents greed. Which causes the evil.
|
|
Rusting equipment represents the type of weather Marlowe is having and the time he has spent on his journey.
|
|
Marlowe's Boat represents his passion for adventure.
|
|
|
|
3. The point of view in Heart Of Darkness is told from a first person
|
|
narrative.
|
|
|
|
4. The atmosphere is very suspenceful. Not knowing what is going to happen
|
|
next.
|
|
|
|
5. Heart of Darkness is an Allegory of an archetypal story because it
|
|
shows that you can't judge people by their reputation only and it also has
|
|
the hidden moral of Marlowe's struggle for inner innocence.
|
|
|
|
6. Conrad's diction can be very confusing at times. Conrad seems jump from
|
|
back and forth in time. His imagery in the novel however is very good for
|
|
example "of feet stamping, of bodies swaying, of eyes rolling, under the
|
|
droop of heavy and motionless foliage." (Conrad 62).
|
|
|
|
Indepndent Novel Study-Character
|
|
|
|
1. Marlow seems to have a calm, cool temperment. I though he workerd very
|
|
well as the narrator of the story. Although the jumping from past and
|
|
present made it difficult to sustain a clear image. Other than that the
|
|
accounts of what happened are usualy best told by the person involved. For
|
|
example the story would lack a lot of detail had it been told by Kurtz or
|
|
the Swedish Captain.
|
|
|
|
2. Kurtz is introduced as a super human being who everyone looks up to
|
|
because of his supirior math skills and he is very articulate. He excites
|
|
our interest because everybody talks so high of him we want to explore our
|
|
image of him.
|
|
|
|
3. Marlow said Kurtz was "Hollow to the Core" because he did not have
|
|
anytime for people who were into slacking on the job and holding little
|
|
regard for the company. Everything was strictly by the book with Kurtz. The
|
|
statement is true because at the end of the story kutrz does turn out not
|
|
to have a heart or soul of goodness.
|
|
|
|
4. Kurtz was a truely remarkable man because of the way he could change
|
|
himself from the evil being to such a good guy to people who had never met
|
|
him.
|
|
|
|
5. Marlow had a lot of compassion for Kurtz's fiancee. She was a sweet
|
|
innocent girl who did not deserve to have her feelings crushed by what
|
|
Marlow could have told her. Marlow could have told her what a truely evil
|
|
man Kurtz was , how much greed he had and such but he decide it would be
|
|
best for her if he lied.
|
|
|
|
Independent Novel Study-Style
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The structure of the piece is Marlow meeting Kurtz. It is organized from
|
|
Marlow knowing really little about Kurtz to the end when Marlow knows more
|
|
than he wanted. The tone of the piece is very suspenceful. Certain parts of
|
|
the diction are good, the jumping in and out of past and present make it
|
|
confusing. The central idea is Marlow's Quest to meet Kurtz.
|
|
|
|
2. The impact is felt mostly at the end of the story. The sentences and
|
|
words were chosen very carefully that make for a definite reponse which is
|
|
similar amongst readers.
|
|
|
|
3. The author certainly does rely on his use of imagery to fill in a lot of
|
|
pieces. Which is good because his imagery is clever and is useful. The
|
|
author is probably a very visual person. He probably had a verl clear
|
|
vision of exactly how the story was to go in his mind.
|
|
|
|
4. The time of the story was late 1800's. There are numerous passages
|
|
describing the cannibles along the shores Marlow was steaming past. The
|
|
world was very different back then. The importance maintaing purity and
|
|
defeating the harmful affects of evil were an every day ritual. This story
|
|
reveals a lot about human nature.
|
|
|
|
Symbolism is the use of one object to represent another object or suggest
|
|
another object or idea. The symbol can also have more than one meaning.

Independent Novel Study- Value
|
|
Clarification
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. This novel changed my way of think by myself realizing that just because
|
|
I find it easy to maintain somewhat of a pure life other people have more
|
|
of a struggle which in this day could branch off and cause numerous social
|
|
problems which go unseen as what has caused them.
|
|
|
|
2. "This book made me intrigued"
|
|
|
|
3. Marlow changed somewhat during the novel . He became skeptical of things
|
|
towards the end of the story. Different opinions were hampering Marlow's
|
|
fair judgement.
|
|
|
|
4. He met a person at a station that had a totally different opinion of
|
|
Kurtz that Marlow had never thought of before. He dealt with it with a
|
|
skeptical view.
|
|
|
|
5. Kurtz was definitely the villian in the story. I do not think he was
|
|
punished but he got what he deserved. It was not as if Marlow had killed
|
|
him for what he had done.
|
|
|
|
6. If I had to choose one friend from the novel I would choose the Swedish
|
|
captain of the steamer. I feel we would both hae a lot in common. We both
|
|
love the pilotage of boats through water and the marine way of life.
