The Theme of Reversion in Joseph Conrad`s Heart of Darkness

الملخص

     It is clear that the physical universe began in darkness, and will end in it, the same holds for the world of human history ,which is dark in the sense of being obscure,a moral,and without purpose ; and so, essentially,is man. Through some fortuitous development, men have occasionally been able to bring light to this darkness in the form of civilization–a structure of behavior and belief which can sometimes keep the darkness at bay. But the mission of bringing light to darkness seems to be highly precarious,because the forces of darkness are much more omnipresent both in society and in the individuals than civilized people usually suppose.
