    1,017 words
    By: Tom Rider The Role of Women in Heart of Darkness Women have taken an increasingly important role in literature. Only recently, historically speaking, have authors portrayed women in a dominant, protagonist ic light. Sophocles and other classical writers portrayed women more as reactors than heroines. Since the ancient Greeks, however, a trend has been established that gives women characters much more substance and purpose. A definite shift from the antediluvian ways can be seen, and the over...

Francis Ford Coppela's masterpiece about killing the evil that can reside in a human form. (Probably the best work that Martin Sheen has ever done in his career.) The main character ...
  • Marlows Journey Into The Heart Of Darkness
    579 words

Marlow mentions these female characters in order to give the literal aspect of his tale more substance. While they definitely play specific roles in the story, they do not relate with the primary theme of the story. The primary th...
