Read this thesis statement: "<em>Heart of Darkness</em> plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo." What is wrong with it?:
A) It is too narrow.
B) It is a plot summary.
C) It is too obvious.
D) It is not supported by the text.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) It is too narrow.
Explanation:
As we know, this story is narrated by the protagonist, Charlie Marlow, who tells us of the journey he made going up a tropical river to locate a certain Kurtz, an elusive and legendary explorer who, according to his superiors, seems to have entrenched himself deep inside from the jungle. Soon the journey turns into a multi-troubled journey, with mystery and degradation growing as the legend of Lord Kurtz enlarges and takes shape.
The novel is based on a true story in the life of Conrad, who sailed up the Congo River as a ship captain in 1890 while working for the SGB company. There, amid the exploitation and genocide that the settlers carried out in the Congo Free State - the private preserve of King Leopold II of Belgium - Conrad was truly traumatized, wanting to relate the horror of his experience in a book in which, on the other hand, and despite the parallels between author and protagonist, no real places or characters are mentioned.
Just using the phrase<em> "plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo"</em> is too vague to describe the actual plot. Therefore, answer A is correct.
Romeo says that he is in love with Rosaline, but out of her favor. She has obviously not requited his love, and he is very depressed. When Romeo sees Juliet at the Capulet's party, he forgets about Rosaline, so his "love" for Rosaline was more like infatuation, puppy love.
Judging by the words, you're talking about Hamlet's Sonnet 130.
The words and phrases that indicate a satirical tone are B (black wires) and D (reeks). This Shakespearean sonnet is a mockery of the literary conventions of ideal beauty and love during its own era. "Black wires," is a description of her woman's hair which completely contradicts the idealized image of blond, silky hair, while the verb "reeks" carries the implication that her breath does not have a pleasant smell.
