Task
Your task is twofold.
First, you must become familiar with one type of literary criticism.
Second, you must use this critical approach to interpret passages from Heart of Darkness. In other words, you must read these passages as a psychoanalytical, post-colonial, reader response, deconstructionist, or feminist critic.
To achieve these tasks, you will follow Marlow up the Congo River. Along the way, you will be visiting links, recording your observations in your Congo Diary, reading important excerpts from Heart of Darkness, and posting your critical interpretations on the message board.
