Abstract: Heart of darkness is one of the famous works written by Joseph Conrad. Kurtz the main character of the novel is characterized by his greed for his own gain and power. His evil side is reflected towards the Africans with his sense of superiority and dominance over the colonial people.
In Heart of Darkness, it is about Marlow’s struggle to keep his sense of morals which made him angry and people around him. The mysterious figure of Kurtz attracts Marlow’s curiosity. Marlow’s desire to do good became more difficult as he is forced into a world which has no goodness. And he had to choose between collections of nightmares. Eventually, we see that the characters become unable to distinguish between good and evil, between the River Thames and the Congo until we find that there is no difference at all.

Keywords: Introduction, about good and evil in novel, distinguish between good and evil and Conclusion
