Freud's philosophy

Freud beleives that man is naturally bad and it is up to society to improve him. H eonly points out the darkside of man's nature with no exceptions. Heart of Darkness conveys the theme of darkness, so we see Freud's philosophy throughout the novel. Marlow is a perfect example to relate to Freud's philosphy, as we see his dark and evil nature when dealing with the slaves in Africa. According to Freud, because this evil nature is natural in man, it is inevitable and can not be avoided by man from the start
