El corazón de las tinieblas Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad (text) Heart of Darkness came to light when Western literature began to be transformed at the beginning of the 20th century. The predominant literary conflict was the dichotomy between realism and romanticism. Conrad challenged this, since he erased the division between realism and unreality so that Marlow, the protagonist of his work, could narrate a journey through the Congo during Belgian colonialism, but from a subjective perspective that expresses the existential doubts of modernity.
