The narrative centers on Charles Marlow's journey up the Congo River, where he encounters the enigmatic Mr. Kurtz, an ivory trader embodying both power and despair. Through Marlow's reflections, the story critiques the hypocrisy of colonialism while exploring profound themes of human nature and moral ambiguity. The haunting refrain, "The horror! The horror!" encapsulates the existential dread and darkness that lies within humanity, making it a thought-provoking exploration of civilization and savagery.
