Heart of Darkness tells the story of Marlow, who is hired as a steamboat captain for a Belgian colonial firm that trades in ivory in Africa. Along his journey through the Congo, he begins to discover the bureaucracy and the violence of the colonial endeavor, epitomized by Kurtz - an ivory trader who has become untethered from traditional conceptions of morality while in the jungle.
