"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:
