This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
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.
