A Defense for Joseph Conrad An Impartial Re―Reading of Heart of Darkness 　　【Abstract】Joseph Conrad is an important modernist writer at the turn of the 20th century whose work Heart of Darkness has earned him great fame as well as criticism.

Just as the narrator Marlow in it， he too went to Congo with the help of one of his influential aunt and the whole story was based on this experience. This confession， however， makes readers believe that Conrad is equal to the narrator Marlow， and that the latter speaks for the former. 　　A first glance at Heart of Darkness shows Marlow’s account of a journey up Congo in a hard search for Kurtz， a trader with eloquence and hypnotic personality， dominates the brutal tribesmen around him. Full of contempt for the greedy traders who exploit the natives， the narrator Marlow cannot deny the power of this evil figure who calls forth from him something somewhat labeled as reluctant loyalty. After reading the novella， most readers would agree t
