Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Does the novel contain a great deal of symbolism? Perhaps you could write a paper that deals with the author’s use of symbolism in the novel. How does realism play into the meaning of the novel? How does a change in setting affect the development of the plot? What form of narration is used in the novel? How does this point of view affect the theme of the novel? How does the use of foreshadowing affect the development of the plot? How does the author’s use of literary devices like irony, imagery, or metaphor contribute to the overall meaning of the novel?
