I mentioned to a coworker that I was about to start reading “Heart of Darkness” and he asked me if I knew about Achebe’s essay. I read “Things Fall Apart” in school more than 30 years ago and, other than the fact that I liked it, remember very little about that book. So, now having finished “Heart of Darkness”, I appreciate this short lecture and background on the essay before I go read it.

Absolutely wonderful explanation sir...and also helpful as it's to the point with references ...and everything is properly covered ❤

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and explanations.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Except that a genuinely critical reading of the book will show just how absurd the notion of Europeans as being any less capable of what is described as “savagery” than the native peoples described in the book. That was the whole point of the novella, was to clearly outline and dismantle this idea of the nobility behind European colonialism. A textual and contextual reading of this text will both reflect this.

Thank you. I read Achebe’s essay and appreciate your analysis of its impact. Will start reading “Heart of Darkness” today.

Thank you so much, I think Achebe’s analysis is spot-on and eye-opening. You explained it beautifully.

Thank you Sir, your video was indeed very helpful!

Excellent! Really enlightening.

Thank u for your explanation sir, i just have one question, you said that without Achebe's intervention no one would teach Conrad's Heart of Darkness with critical lenses, so u mean that Achiebe was the first one to critic Conrad in terms of racism against Africa ?

Very helpful,thank you so much

Aoa Thank you for your lectures that are really an easy way to develop understanding and interest in further getting into things. your link to Achebe is not working. can you help in this regard? Thanks and stay blessed

Thank you so much. This was very helpful.

Sir can we consider Conrad's ' novel representation of Africa ' as an instance of the narrative impulse?
