Joseph Conrad described the river as, "Yet there remained a big river, "resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country and its tail lost in the depths of the land."

Heart of Darkness foreshadowing?

The true darkness in this novella is the way the "pilgrims" and Beligians treat the natives. Kurtz is upfront about his "methods" in gaining ivory (he gets it from the natives by force). It is a quest to the heart of darkness, beginning at the outer station, to the central station, and finally ends at the inner station where it is most evident of the darkness. There are native's heads as fence posts around the station.AnswerI disagree with the evaluation above. I think it goes further than the treatment of the natives, although the inhumanity of the truculent Europeans is part of it. Conrad's main criticism in the novella is of imperialism ― the greed and corruption that flows so naturally from a conquest of money (ivory) and subjugation of natives is the true darkness within the men. Kurtz is an extreme example of the effects of imperialism: he declared himself "god" over the natives and sacrificed them ruthlessly to maintain his power. But even though Kurtz oppresses the natives by virtue of his height and pallor, the readers see him emaciated and broken, only a shadow of what people described as a genius, artist, and musician. This is the true ability of imperialism to warp and mutilate men and is the "darkness" that Conrad describes.
