Joseph's Influence On Heart Of Darkness

119 Words1 Pages
Joseph was a major Polish-British writer whose concern seemed to be the suffering of other human beings caused by civilization. This concern can be seen in many of his works, including Heart of Darkness. Set on a boat, this novella was influenced from his experience on the Congo. It follows his feelings with seeing so many injured, rotting, and deceased people in just one day. The end of the novella is what had the most influence of anything written in English, which was the words “The horror! The horror!” This quotation was a representation of how he really saw what life was. The Heart of Darkness had such an impact that it has inspired music, opera, film, and more.
