In Achebe's critique of Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness," he argues that Conrad's problem with the character of the African fireman is rooted in his portrayal as a dehumanized and simplistic figure, reinforcing colonial stereotypes and perpetuating the narrative of African inferiority. Achebe suggests that this portrayal reflects Conrad's own biases and limitations as a product of his time and context.
