Psychological Perspective of Colonialism

For my essay, I am going to explore the symbolism of colonial imperialism from a psychological perspective.  I will analyze Marlow's behavior and speech patterns, and his descriptions of the Congo.  I will also explore Kurtz's painting, as it closely ties into the major theme of colonial oppression.  I will also analyze the effects of colonialism with respect to the Africans, as it puts the Africans and bystanders in an extremely vulnerable position.  Because of being in a vulnerable position, people more readily are induced to express their subconscious.
