In heart of darkness, we see the story is being told as a very racist and negative connotation, but that is because it is viewed through the eyes of Marlow, a white man who knows nothing else but racism. In Things Fall Apart, we have many different perspectives. Was it done on purpose that heart of darkness was done in only one perspective? Either way, these books have similar traits. They both are groups of people who are percieved to be doing wrong because their method is different. They tackle things differently than the rest of us do. Does that make it wrong? In both novels, the place that was once properly functioning is brought to ruins by the hands of the white people who percieve that this method of life is savegery. So to help them, they take total and utter control. So what makes these books so different?
