Heart of Darkness 12

I had read this story once before when I was a freshman at a branch campus of Penn State called Behrend. I read it for a literature class dealing with short stories and their analyzation. I didn’t really like the story back then, and it really hasn’t moved-up any spots on my list of favorites. Although I really didn’t care for the story, I did notice quite a bit of symbolism throughout …

…complete power is a very scary thing. I think that, given the opportunity, a large portion of the citizens of the world would abuse the power given to them. I think that people would just get so caught up in the immenseness of their power, they would just end up losing control and doing things that they normally wouldn’t even think of doing. Deep down, we’re all capable of some pretty evil things.
