Abstract

The elusive Buddha postures of Marlow Conrad has crafted in Heart of Darkness have manifold literary values. Aside from resonating with the structure of the story, they also project the theme of disillusion and allude to the Buddhist solution to the crisis of material worship prevailing the west around the 1900s.
