Intro Paragraph

       Conrad's Heart of Darkness follows the protagonist, Marlow, on his long journey up the Congo river. Conrad explores the darkness that is unleashed on his trip and that Marlow encounters. Freud's philosophy on the natural darkness that all man has within seems to appear throughout the novel, and Conrad continues to illustrate this to readers. Trhough Conrad's novel, he continues to remind readers of Freud's ideas on man; the naturally dark side of man and urge to dominate with power seems inevitable and Conrad illustrates this Freudian beleif throughout his novel.
