Answer:

The topic is mostly covering area of Congo,

Step-by-step explanation:

  • "Heart of Darkness" describes the journey of adventurer Charles Marlow, who, as captain of a steamboat, travels to the Belgian Congo in search of the mysterious Kerk.
  • His voyage is accompanied by almost apocalyptic images of the colonial savagery of Belgians (and other whites) who systematically looted and destroyed Africa at the time.
  • The book is certainly not only a critique of colonialism, but also a study of the morality and nature of evil, a treatise on universal human stupidity, but also a great psychological novel that gives a striking picture of the main character on a journey that takes him through the atmosphere of wild primordial darkness to the "heart of darkness" in the jungles of the Belgian Congo.
