MISCELLANEOUS PAST PAPERS
1. As you read the novel, be aware of how Conrad uses repeated "doubling" patterns of
opposition and contrast in Heart of Darkness: light and dark, white and black, "savagery"
and "civilization," outer and inner? What does Conrad accomplish by this contrast,
especially of light and dark?
2. Marlow constantly uses vague and often redundant phrases like "unspeakable secrets”,
"inconceivable mystery”, “impenetrable darkness”, and “insoluble problem”. At other times,
however, he is capable of powerful imagery and considerable eloquence. Why does Marlow
use vague, "inconclusive" language and opposing adjectives so frequently?
3. Analyze Marlow’s use of the terms “the idea” and “the work” in the novel. Why are there so
many ironic suggestions to what these terms actually mean in his observations of the colonial
practices in King Leopold’s Congo?
4. What is your understanding of Marlow’s references to “the thing” as his journey unfolds
through the African rainforest?
5. Why is Conrad’s use of irony, as a narrative strategy, so powerful throughout the novel?
In your opinion, what are the moments/events when Marlow’s ironic statements are the
most powerful?
6. Interpret Kurtz's dying words ("The horror! The horror!"). What do they mean?
What are the possible "horrors" to which he is referring? Why is Marlow the recipient
of Kurtz's last words?
7. What do women represent in Heart of Darkness? There are three significant women in this story:
Kurtz's Intended, Marlow's aunt, and the African woman at Kurtz's station. How are they described?
Contrast Kurtz's African mistress with his Intended. Are both negative portrayals of women?
Describe how each portrayal functions in the narrative. Does it make any difference in your
interpretation to know that Conrad supported the women's suffrage movement? What does
Marlow mean early in Part 1 when he suggests that women are "out of touch with truth" and
live in a beautiful world of their own?
8. Describe the use of "darkness" both in the book's title and as a symbol throughout the text.
What does darkness represent? Is its meaning constant or does it change?
