Heart of Darkness & Freud

Freud presents man like a beast.  He writes that true character is surrounded by sex, lust, emotion, violence, greed, and everything that we would see makes "blood boil".  Freud's idea of men being all bad and only improve in with the better of their own experiences, drives away from the usual, simple biblical context where every child is born good.  Freud is seemingly not a philosopher but an Anarchist who wants to see the world turn from the bad to good.  His pessimistic view, although very controversial and enormously oversteps its boundary, also causes thought for concern, provocative culture, and as well well thought ideas.  The writing in Heart of Darkness is similar to Freud's beliefs because every man you come across in the book is bad, committing evil, and is only driven but greed and self-satisfaction and pleasure.  The African slaves, the accountant, the idea of elitism, Marlow's thoughts they are examples of Freud's beliefs because they fuel war.  War fuel anarchy, but for a reader all this entices, makes us belief in the other side of things.  Do I agree with Freud, NO, but like I said in class, he is the 19th/20th century Howard Stern, he might say awful things, but what he says, no matter if you like him or not, you want to hear what he says next.
