Colonialism and Imperialism in Conrad's \Heart of Darkness\ and Achebe's \Things Fall Apart\
2023
Overview
The original English novels: \"Heart Of Darkness\" by Joseph Conrad, and \"Things Fall Apart\" by Chinua Achebe clearly portray the colonialism and imperialism in Africa in general, and Nigeria and Congo in particular. Colonialism and Imperialism in Africa are claimed to be different between European writers and African ones, this comparative research compares Joseph Conrad's Heart Of Darkness, and Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart using a qualitative-quantitative methodology to approve these claims, focusing mainly on the writers' representation and description by lexical choices. The contradictory points of view of an African writer who wrote his novel not only to narrate real facts and incidents but also to present the truth of the African society and correct the misunderstandings in his opinion to the European one who presents Africa as the primitive nation that should be exploited as possible because natives do not deserve its treasures. The corpus-stylistic analysis will be the judging tool to distinguish the way they present the places and people in the novels and illustrate the themes by the lexical choices provided throughout corpora data and the significance of the repeated patterns of nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Empirically, Achebe has shown that the Africans are proud of their culture and they are civilized, not permissive as Conrad claimed that Africa is a dark place where everything is in brooding gloom. The colonial imperialistic look at the Africans is and will always be unfair.
