Question

why do the dense forest of the DRC is called as the heart of darkness?

Answer 1

Heart of Darkness is a English novel by novelist Joseph Conrad regarding a Spoken Voyage on the Congo River in the heart of Africa.

Charles Marlow the narrator tells his story to friends sitting on a boat anchored on the London Thames.  

This gives the frame for Marlow's tale of obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz which provides Conrad to make a uniform between what he calls "the greatest town on earth" and London and Africa as Heart of Darkness .

Conrad's writing provides the thought that less separation is there between civilised people and those described as slaves where Heart of Darkness portrays imperialism and racism.

Answer 2

The dense forest of the DRC is called the heart of darkness because it has dense vegetation for people to travel.
