3. How many women characters are to be found in the Heart of Darkness would you consider Conrad to be a misogynist?

Answer.: Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness has since its publishing, fallen under vast scrutiny for its supposed pro- racist, pro- imperialist message, whether it be blatant or implied. Upon closer analysis, and perhaps less obviously, the claim could also be made that Heart of Darkness is also a pro- misogyny piece. Heart of Darkness performs anti-Feminist literary theory- the novella does not uplift the “other sex”, nor is it meant to fortify and empower the female gender.
