Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Oriental and others' compositions as shown in Western Colonial Discourse by Conrad's Darkness Center (1899). The main purpose of this paper is to reveal biased, and miss proposed images of Africans in Western texts. The concept of "different" is used and is discussed in a special reference to Conrad's Darkness Center (1899). It reflects that Europeans are as good as "Occident," while they represent Africans the same as inferior Orientals. "Other" is a Western structure, a concept related to civilization to the East.

Keywords: Conrad, Heart of Darkness, Occident, Orient, Othering, Postcolonial
