Intro

As Marlow dives into the innermost darkness of central Africa he is faced with an unconscious that chooses to release itself once in the wild and free ambiance of the Congo. This inner darkness, previously suppressed by the European moral constraint, takes hold of Marlow and resides within him causing him to experience a voyage far beyond his wildest imaginations. As Freud and many other psychologists have stated, this inner darkness or "id" is a natural part of the profoundly complex human condition and is the foundation on which our primatial ways of life rest upon. As human beings we are composed of three subconscious levels, the ego, the superego and the id. According to Freud, our "superego" is fabricated by what society has implemented into our minds.
