Jasmine: Moshi Moshi! :] i believe the title of this novel has many meaning. for me, i think that the heart of darkness kind of reminds me of the center of all evil. just like the congo, it is kind of like the center or the more well known part of africa. so, thats were i got the center form. and the darkness is like the evil. so, if you put it all together, the heart of darkness is the center of all evil.

It is titled Heart of Darkness because it represents the middle of the Congo jungle. Darkness is the thick, fearful jungle and Heart is the middle of the jungle, where Kurtz lived.

I think that the title Heart of Darkness represents what is happening in the Congo about how they are being treated by others who go there just for wealth and using them to gather the items for them and the hearts of darkness are the hearts of the people exploiting the people of Congo.

I think the title, Heart of Darkness, represents corruption of the people. The story takes place in Africa where the Europeans had colonized the native land. Usually when we think about a heart, we immediately think of love. Love is something that people eventually develop for one another in their life. But since their hearts are corrupt and dark, corruption and evil spread among the European people. _Matt 1st Period

i believe the title is named heart of darkness because the book is full or mysterious and unknown places to marlow on his adventures through out his journey

Just like said during class Darkness can be anything, depending on then point of view. In Heart of Darkness, ithink the word darkness means Marlows curiosity which leads to Africas and it's danger.
Re: VI- Heart of Darkness: the title.
i think the title heart of darkness means heart is loving and caring but the darkness means evil and scary.
Re: VI- Heart of Darkness: the title.
The tilte heart of darkness is a great title because when he say heart its describes the central like the main point ,darkness is like the dark all the bad thing so the title is means; the center of bad things of darkness were all the bad things happen.
Re: VI- Heart of Darkness: the title.
I think the word heart in the title symbolically means the river and the word darkness in the title is all the evil stuff in the story. The heart is the river because it’s the main part of the story where all the darkness /evil is going on. The darkness is the slavery and killing they are doing the story.
