Intro

With the evolution of man came a social hierarchy that set apart primitive instincts from communal behavior. When faced with danger and the need to survive, no matter how high of a social pyramid created, man is biologically wired to resort to its ancestral instincts to survive, behaviors that have been fined tuned over centuries to ensure the survival of the next generation. Conrad's Heart of Darkness explores the capacity of man to resist this change and also his ability welcome it. Along with Frederick Carl and Freud's psycho analysis, the human mind is further explored with its checks and balances, suppressors that clearly define the conscious and sub-conscious. Thus, Conrad's heart of darkness gives a front row seat in the observations of how man kind is able to adapt and survive when placed in unforgiving environments that tests our very own humanity (working on this).
