| Abstract: | This project is about binary oppositions and contradictions that exist in our society. My project name is “Deconstruction of Binary Opposition in the Novel Heart of Darkness”. For this I have taken the novel “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad. The novel consist plentiful amount of contradictions and binary oppositions such us light – dark, civilise – savagery, white – black etc. The novel tells the story of a sailor named Marlow who sent for searching a man named Kurtz as an assignment from his company. Throughout the journey Marlow used to describe Africa as dark and uncivilise and the setting of the story adds to the themes of increasing darkness and savagery. Here I used to re-read the novel using Deconstruction theory as the tool. Deconstruction theory is created by the French Philosopher Jacques Derrida. Deconstruction is a philosophical movement and a literary theory that questions traditional assumptions about binary oppositions. We are looking to reverse the dominant and non-dominant binary oppositions in a deconstructive analyse. Importantly I used to deconstruct the terms such as light-dark, civilise-savagery, white-dark , conqueror-slave, tamed-wiled etc by deconstructing some particular paragraphs from the novel. Through this project I put forward some questions regarding binaries and towards the end of the project I conclude by finding answers for these questions by deconstructing the binaries present in the novel. The project shows the power of civilised over uncivilised using these binaries and the oppression faced by the Africans due to these binaries. The binaries are mainly born from the discriminations based on gender, colour, race, caste etc. And my finding is that first we want to eradicate these discriminations then only we can find a solution for the binaries present in our society. For my research on this topic, firstly I used to read the novel “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad. Then to know about theory I used to refer in the books like “Of Grammatology” by Jacques Derrida and “On Deconstruction Theory and Criticism after Structuralism” by Jonathan Culler. For the application of theory in the novel I used to refer some cites such as springer.com, writeordie.blog.com, perzi.com and litcrit.wordpress.com. |
