Marlow, is the main character in the novel Heart of Darkness, written by English-Polish writer Joseph Conrad. This story, aside from telling the experiences lived by sailor Marlow when he had to travel to the heart of Africa, in the Congo, is a strong criticism against the effects of imperialism, especially British imperialism, over Africa. In the beginning of the story, when Marlow is at the Thames with the initial Narrator of the story and other characters, the other characters think of London as the epitome of civilization and think of the glorious British adventurers, like Roman adventurers. But for Marlow, the image of London is totally different. When he is reflecting on what he sees, he takes himself to think about how the Romans saw England for the first time, as a dark, mysterious, obscure place, inhospitable and filled with savages, that they needed to tame. He likens the London seen by Romans when they first arrived with the Congo that he once visited in his voyage. The correct answer is A.
