2. Heart of Darkness can be seen has representing the Freudian structure of the subconscious with different levels of the human mind represented by the journey of the heart of Darkness.

3. The heart of Darkness represents Conrad's unconscious fears about the world. He shows Africa to be the Dark and scary place and a place that is barely understood by him. In the book he barely mentions any African peoples name and does not give them any dignity or identity.
