I don't have Heart of Darkness but I have Nostromo. I just got a ton of ebooks and will work on them later. I'll look up Heart of Darkness. I plan on seeing what the Game of Thrones books are like (A Song of Ice and Fire) before the next season air on HBO.
Hmm, an excerpt from a paper about Nostromo and Heart of Darkness.
"The essential link between Joseph Conrad's novels Heart of Darkness and Nostromo is that they share the theme of Europeans entering a Third World nation in order to "save" the nation and its people in some way, but merely end up spreading their inevitably corrupting influences. Nostromo is far more complex (and much longer) work than Heart of Darkness, and uses a more intricate chronology, but the soul of the stories are the same in their portrayals of the spread of Western influences in Africa and Latin America. This is not to say that Conrad has an idealized understanding of the lives and societies in the Third World nations he fictionally examines. To the contrary, those societies are full of strife, violence, and their own brands of non-western corruption. However, what the white man brings is far worse, far more violent and corrupting, despite the fact that he seems to believe that he will be "saving" the black man or the brown man from himself and his "backward" culture. If there is a message to the two works, it is that the people of Africa and Latin America deserved to be left alone to work out their own destinies, whatever they might be, rather than to have the values and culture of the European imposed upon them."
Thing is, I don't think I know much of the story of Far Cry 3 as I didn't play it much outside of killing animals and swimming with da sharks!
