Heart of Darkness  is a frame narrative recounting Charles Marlow's voyage down the Congo River. Kurtz might be the apple of every british imperialist’s eye, but his God complex is getting wildly out of hand in the depths of the jungle. What on earth will Marlow find when he finally gets downriver? Devil worship? Savages? Heads on sticks? Or just another nutty white man with his knickers in a twist?
