We learn in an introduction to Conrad’s work that “the theme of the story is partly the ‘choice of nightmares’ facing whites in the Congo—either to become like the commercially minded manager, who sees Africa, it’s people, and its resources solely as instruments of financial gain, or to become like Kurtz, the self-tortured and corrupted idealist” (1953). What are these nightmare images that represent the two possible “choices”? What are your interpretations of the moral challenges presented in the story? Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
