Heart of Darkness (novel)/YMMV
- Adaptation Displacement: Apocalypse Now
- Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Considering how dense and omnifaceted the story is, this happens pretty often. There's a TON of ways to interpret Heart of Darkness[1], and many odd ones are surprisingly well-supported (though many are not). Here's an example.
- Fair for Its Day
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Kurtz's house is surrounded by the heads of executed rebels, facing the house!
- Especially when you think about it and realise that usually, you point the heads AWAY from you (as one is) to deter intruders.
- Values Dissonance: The native Africans are repeatedly portrayed as violent, ignorant, subhuman cannibals... and those are the good ones.
- But they're always shown as better (or at least, more humane) than the European colonists.
- Back to Heart of Darkness (novel)
- ↑ you can easily find Marxist, deconstructivist, feminist, or post-colonial interpretations, just to name a few
