Joseph Conrad’s *Heart of Darkness* is a novel rich in symbolism, with its title serving as a powerful and multifaceted metaphor. The phrase “Heart of Darkness” evokes several layers of meaning that resonate throughout the narrative and reflect its core themes, including colonialism, savagery, imperial hypocrisy, human psychology, and moral ambiguity. The metaphorical significance of the title lies not only in its literal association with the African Congo but also in its symbolic depiction of the moral and psychological journey of both the protagonist, Marlow, and humanity as a whole. At the most immediate level, the title *Heart of Darkness* refers geographically to the African interior, specifically the Congo River Basin, which, during the time of the novel’s setting, was under Belgian control. This territory was often referred to by European imperialists as the “dark continent” due to its perceived remoteness, impenetrability, and difference from European norms. In this sense, the “heart” signifies the central and most obscure region of Africa—a place unknown to most Europeans and imagined as wild and uncivilized.
