"I didn't want any more loitering in the shade, and I made haste towards the station. When near the buildings I met a white man,

in such an unexpected elegance of get-up that in the first moment I took him for a sort of vision. I saw a high starched collar, white cuffs, a light alpaca jacket, snowy trousers, a clear necktie, and vamished boots. No hat. Hair parted, brushed, oiled under a green-lined parasol held in a big white hand. He was amazing, and had a penholder behind his ear." In this excerpt from Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad employs characterization as a literary device. In 3-5 sentences, explain how Conrad uses characterization to support his view of the British Empire. Include evidence from the text to support your answer.​

Conrad uses the characterization of man to show how the British Empire presented itself in a haughty, superior air and representing luxury and wealth.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Conrad introduces a man who presented himself in a very beautiful way.
  • The man was a haughty figure, who was well dressed, good-looking, and wore elements that portrayed wealth, dominance, and prosperity.

This man represented the way the British Empire presented itself during imperialism. Because it showed itself to be a rich country and full of luxury and refinement, but it did so through the exploitation and control of peoples.

"Heart of Darkness" is a book that criticizes British imperialism in a very punctual way. You can find more information about this at the link:

What is the inflience of romanticism in todays culturw?
jek_recluse [69]

The Civil War had a major impact on literature during this time period. The horrors of the war shook people up and created a more pessimistic outlook on life. This was one of the first wars that was photographed so people had images to look at even if they were not involved in the war itself. The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is definitely applicable in ths case.

Realism came into play in large part out of need as a result of the war. People had something to write about but did not at the time have the right "tool" to do it. Realism/realistic novel was that tool. Romanticism, which came before realism, did not lend itself to write about the new perspective of society post Civil War.
