Conrad, in his novel, portrays Africa as a dark continent with a hopeless population that relies on donations and grants from European countries. Through Okonkwo, Achebe depicts Africans as proud people that value their cultural practice and are ready to defend their native cultures regardless of the European’s call for civilization. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, on the other hand, tend to respond to Conrad’s perception of Africa by portraying the native Africans as focused, cultured, and productive. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad presents Africa through the perspective of colonization by the Europeans who depict the African continent as savages, uncivilized, and underdeveloped.
