Contrast in Heart of Darkness

     Much of the imagery in Heart of Darkness is arranged in patterns of
                          opposition and contrast.

                              Examples:

                                   Light/dark
                                   Black/white
                                   Civilized/savage
                                   Outer/inner

     As you read the novel, be aware of how Conrad uses this device.
     What does Conrad accomplish by this contrast, especially of light
     and dark?
