The central irony of Heart of Darkness
<!-- @page { size: 21cm 29.7cm; margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->
Heart of Darkness is a tale by Joseph Conrad. Conrad had been a seaman and had had the opportunity of exploring many places in Africa as part of his job. He had seen the vacuous attempts of Europeans to civilize Africa and has satirized such attempts in many of his tales. An Outpost of Progress, Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim are among such tales.
In Heart of Darkness, Conrad speaks through his favorite narrator Marlow. Marlow is Conrad's 'surrogate author'. In this tale, Marlow tells us how he traveled deep into the heart of Africa along with a small company of white and black men in order to meet a certain Kurtz. Stories of Kurtz's success in Africa had traveled to his homeland. 'You show them you have in you something that is immensely profitable, and then there will be no limits to the recognition of your ability.' Kurtz's outpost was the largest collector of ivory in the region. Kurtz had also written a report on 'The Suppression of Savage Customs' in which he extolled the need of Europeans to bring the light of civilization to dark Africa. Kurtz propagated how the natives of Africa looked upon white men as gods and how therefore, it was very easy to make the black man obey the white man.
Marlow had heard so much of the success of this Kurtz in Africa that to him Kurtz had acquired a legendary stature. Marlow was desperate to meet Kurtz.
The story however reaches an anticlimax, when Marlow does get to meet Kurtz at the end. Kurtz does not prove to be any of the super hero he was made out to be. Instead, he seems deranged. He is shown to have adapted many of the savage customs he had set out to suppress. The fence of his dwelling is decorated with human skulls- trophies of his conquests in Africa. Kurtz is adulated by the natives but for all the wrong reasons. Kurtz has not taught the natives any civilized trait but has attained his Godhood through reckless bullying.
The irony of Heart of Darkness is thus twofold. At one level it shows us the sham of Europeans in professing their purpose of invading Africa- their motive is really only commercial. At the other level it shows how these European emissaries, instead of 'suppressing savage customs', actually succumb to those very customs.

What color should I paint my room? (Details!)?
I'm redoing my room & I need some help decided a wall color!
My comforter is this really pretty light gray color. My accent pillows are like ivory, creams, etc. & some pink details. I want to get like bright pink sheets for a pop of color along with matching pillow shams.
I was originally thinking a light, pastel yellow for the wall color or hot pink.
If I did the pink, I probably wouldn't get the sheets.
I'm open to really any color that would be cute.
I'm a teenage girl.
Please help! <3
Well, my dad won't let me do black probably. Haha.
& That's way dark for me. 
My 2 suggestions are a pastel pink or a dark-ish gray. If you were to do the pastel pink, it would be good to still get the pink sheets. Personally, I would choose a dark gray. I don't mean too dark, but maybe a few shades darker than your comforter. The gray allows you to add as much color as you like, and if you maybe want to put a different color as your accent (instead of pink), you don't have to paint your walls. (:
