Essay: Conclusion

Freud wrote that aggressiveness and desire are things we are born with, but can slowly learn to suppress.  Yet he also believes that you need to free yourself to be who you really are, ironic yet ideas that challenge the real thought of who we are as human beings.  In the novel Heart of Darkness, we are able to see Freud's writing come to work as we are given the images of men who are put on both sides of the table and are able to free themselves and in the end have to bring themselves back to their reserved lives.  Together both pieces of literature support one another as they establish the idea, humans are part of nature just like all other animals and the trees around them, and us acting normal is surprisingly abnormal, and for us to be who we truly we must not judge one another, yet it is this unnatural thought that will keep us from being who we need to be.
