Heart of Darkness, is not only an intense chase story, but also a psychological roller coaster since, through the characters in the story, Joseph Conrad shows us a powerful struggle between the Freudian personalities of the id, ego and superego. The novel's main characters, Marlow and Kurtz, are primarily identified with id and superego type personalities, and throughout the novel these characters are placed in intense situations that cause them to question their own beliefs and reactions, and ultimately their own reactions. human personality. So, between the characters there is not only a battle in the physical sense, but also on the metaphysical level.
