Colors can usually depict good or evil. However, In “Heart of Darkness” colors are interchangeably used to demonstrate what is bad. Normally, white, is a sign of savior and black is a sign of death. Conrad’s use of these colors is parallel with the theme of the novel because his mixed use of these colors leaves the reader confused and that is ultimately what Conrad wants. Conrad uses colors to strengthen his story and the confusion of it. His use of black and white is a true reflection of his main theme because it is very confusing and misleading.
