Heart of Darkness only shows the European perspective, only portraying the Africans through their relation and subjugation in colonized Africa.]]> 2022-02-16 16:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051288070 https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051288999 Throughout Heart of Darkness, the native are portrayed as simple yet in reality the natives are complex people too. They have their own culture and ways of life that are revealed in Things Fall apart.

While the Africans are described as not more that objects and creatures in the Heart of Darkness, in Things Fall Apart the vibrant culture and language that the natives have is demonstrated as they have amazing proverbs, long lasting traditions and beliefs. In Things Fall Apart the Europeans are portrayed as splitting the village and causing conflict while in Heart of Darkness the Europeans cruel treatment and violence towards the natives is shown but also they are held in a better light as civilizing the natives. ]]> 2022-02-16 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051289965 https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051290590 Within Heart of Darkness, the natives are shown to be very empty, savage creatures that are in need of "civilization." However in Things Fall Apart, we see how the natives are, in actuality, quite complex and rich in traditions and culture. The points of view within each story allows for different aspects to come to light (ie. in Things Fall Apart we learn more about African culture, whereas in Heart of Darkness we learn more about the European's drive for colonizing).]]> 2022-02-16 16:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051290590 https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051294571 The different point of views being focused on in both stories differs from the point of view which was significantly different then the focused on group. The HOD and Thing fall apart focus on African and the European groups showing that what is said in HOD of the Europeans is completely false to what is being shown in Things fall part.

Things fall apart emphasizes the perspective of the African natives, we get in-depth knowledge of their character and reaction towards the start of colonial rule. ]]> 2022-02-16 16:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051302463 https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051308256 In Hear of Darkness, the story is told through a Western/European perspective. Through this perspective, the Western civilization/people are seen as superior. The African American people are also depicted as something not human and give no depth to their persona/culture (are only seen as something/someone they can exploit). However, in Things Fall Apart it gives an African American perspective. Through this perspective, it gives a voice to the African American people and allows them to be seen as people who have background history, a culture, a family, etc. ]]> 2022-02-16 16:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051308256 https://padlet.com/avitalflo0001/1x9hgjcf9gih0ok5/wish/2051341712 In Heart of Darkness, which is told by a European, the colonizers are shown in a much more positive light and in Things Fall Apart, we see the colonizers shown in a negative light as it is told by Okonkwo.
