While Conrad's portrayal of the darkness within all men may suggest a critique of colonization and imperialism, it is important to consider the colonialist attitudes present in the novella. The dehumanization of African characters and the portrayal of them as primitive contributes to a narrative that reinforces racial hierarchies. Therefore, it is valid to point out that Conrad's work still reflects the prevalent racist ideologies of his time.
The Company and its greed; they care more about profiting on ivory than the people
There could be several turning points in the novel: -When Marlow finds Kurtz in the woods and realizes the extent of change Kurtz has under gone. -Kurtz' dying words "the horror, the horror" when it is believed he is looking back on the reality of it all- his life, the cruelty of his actions, the cruelty of their imperialism in general- and sees the evil (proof that Kurtz was once a truly good man, the good was still in him) -when Marlow returns to visit the intended, and sees the darkness there too. That is when he makes the realization that is central to the novel, that evil is everywhere, not just in the uncivilized jungles of Africa and that it is, in fact, in everyone.
