Heart of Darkness

Marlow starts off his tale in the fashion of bringing up London so that he could link English Colonization in parts of Africa to London in times of Roman power. Although both of them not at all similar, Marlow evinces the want for power of the English in Africa and the Romans in London. Marlow interlinks London and Africa because he is foreshadowing that the horrible things that happened in London will soon be shown in Africa.
