“Oh the horror...
the horror…”
-Kurtz, from Heart of Darkness
-Kurtz, from Heart of Darkness
In the novel The Heart of Darkness, Kurtz (the
protagonist) says: “Oh the horror… the horror…” while he is dying. His life experiences have shown him the dark side of humanity. This quote can be related to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. In the story some of the kids also saw the darkest side of humanity. The fact of being all by
themselves in a deserted island transformed them into savages without realizing
all the horrible things they were
doing. Jack, a 12 year old kid, turns into an evil dictator that punish his tribe with physical aggression. Roger, also a 12 year old, becomes a psychopath killer.
