Reasons to Read "Heart of Darkness"

- A lot of critics believe that this novella is racist and sexist, and this can turn people off from reading Conrad's work

- People must read this novel and make their own decision on it. It is worth reading so that readers don't just believe the same thing as the critics. Readers can make their own decisions.

- As opposed to a piece of history, this is a literary book. It has two imaginary narrators, irony, common usage of similes, and great personifying language describing what "darkness" really is.
