Heart Of Darkness (Q. #2)

In the Heart of Darkness, Marlow (in much detail) describes the setting of London during the time. And I believe it's connection to Africa is actually positive. Marlow describes the grey, dark, drab London, when the Romans were present, and talks of how it once was disease filled and depressed but soon after colonization by the English people, it became a powerful city with growth and rapid improvement. He is insinuating and hinting that with English colonizing Africa as well as London, Africa can grow in power as well. And be changed from its dark society, to something brighter and more powerful.
