Transcript: Conrad,Joseph. Heart of Darkness. New York: Norton and Company, 1988. Print. Quotes Examples of Light More Quotes: Irony (situational): "'His last word-to live with,' she insisted. 'Don't you understand I loved him-I loved him-I loved him.' I pulled myself together and spoke slowly. 'The last word he pronounced was-your name.'" pg. 75 Works Cited Imagery Irony (Situational and Verbal) Simile Imagery: "The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river the only thing for it was to come and wait for the turn of the tide." pg. 1 By Mary Elizabeth Corliss and Alexandra Cook Simile: "Often far away there I thought of these two, guarding the door of Darkness, knitting black wool as for a warm pall, one introducing continuously to the unknown, the other scrutinizing the cheery and foolish faces with unconcerned old eyes." pg.14 The Fiance: doesn't see Kurtz's dark side uncorrupted by Darkness doesn't even know what Darkness is Light vs. Dark in Heart of Darkness Irony (verbal): "He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision-he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath: 'The horror! The horror!'" pg. 68 Simile: "The great wall of vegetation, and exuberant and entangled mass of trunks, branches, leaves, boughs, festoons, motionless in the moonlight, was like a rioting invasion of soundless life, a rolling wave of plants, piled up, crested, ready to topple over the creek, to sweep every little man of us out of his little existence." Imagery: "Going up that river was like travelling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, an impenetrable forest. The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish. There was no joy in the brilliance of sunshine. The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distance." pg. 35 Imagery- used to show contrast between light and dark through heavy description Examples of Darkness Kurtz selfish greedy bad guy Company is trying to eliminate absorbed by the wilderness represents his being consumed by Darkness "The horror! The horror!" could represent him realizing his wrongs African Wilderness represents untamed side of man darkness in the forest when talking/personifying Darkness, book often refers to the natives, the wilderness uses imagery to make setting/atmosphere darker Literary Devices Charles Marlow: protagonist hopeful blindly looks up to Kurtz stays uncorrupted lies to protect Kurtz's fiance's feelings Irony: A lot of irony towards the end when Kurtz dies and Marlow lies to his fiance. The irony exemplifies light vs. dark in this part. Simile: Conrad uses similes constantly to make comparison's that contribute to this theme

Light vs. Dark

Transcript: Despite the fact that the Duke is giving Othello a compliment, he says that Othello is "more fair than black", insinuating that it's a terrible thing to be black Strike on the tinder, ho! Give me a taper! call up ll my people! The accident is not unlike my dream: Belief of it oppresses me already. Light, I say! light! Barbantio, Act 1, Scene 1 Example Example Why is Lightness and Darkness a Motif? By using the word "Oppress", Barbantio has already insinuated that light is good Nor scar than whiter skin of hers than snow, and smooth as monumental alabaster, yet she must die, else she'll betray more men, Put out the light, and then put out the light, If I quench thee, the flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore, Should I repent me: but once put out thy light Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promothean heat that can thy light resume Othello, Act 5, Scene 2 Example By using the terms "hell" and "night", Iago not only displays his dislike for Othello by using "evil" terms (hell) He also dehumanizes Othello by using the term "monstrous" birth, creating a very negative connotation behind Othello's name Light vs Darkness applies to both the theme of secrecy and hidden truths as well the pertinent theme of racism Iago clearly shows that "white" is sweet, innocent, by using animalist terms, negatively used adjectived (old) and crude terms (tupping) 'Zounds, sir, you're robb'd; for shame, put on your gown; Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul; even now, very now an old black ram is tupping your white ewe. Arise, Arise, awake the snoring citizens with the bell Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you Arise, I say Iago Act 1, Scene 1 Black/Darkness =Evil White/Light = Good/Purity Light vs. Dark It's used throughout the play with metaphors, personification, imagery, animalization, and racial slurs Here. Othello uses the term "light" to symbolize Desdemona, in a statement where he's essentially saying that first he'll extinguish the candles, then "extinguish" her(kill her) Example Barbantio requests for light and mentions of Desdemona's light "porcelain" skin Introduces the concept of white = purity Continued throughout the play through the use of metaphors, personification, and symbolism Example Conclusion: To the shallow eye the motif represents only the interracial relationship of Othello and Desdamona To the detailed reader, light represents purity and truth, while darkness represents stealth, negativity and fear By Deven Anand and Chris Edelman From the onset of the play we can see a negative connotation behind the word "black" or the use darkness, specifically through all the characters ( specifically) Iago's racial slurs, animalization and imagery. Emilia uses terms such as the Angel and the Devil to apply the ideas of good and bad, and the uses blacker as an adjective for devil to create negative connotations behind the color black. Example And, noble signior, if virtue no delighted beauty lack Your son-in-law is far more fair than black The Duke of Venice, Act 1, Scene 3 O, the more angel she/And you the blacker devil. Emilia, Act 5, Scene 2 Hell and night must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light Iago, Act 1, Scene 3 Company Logo

Dark Vs Light!

Transcript: I think that the jar with black paper on it will get the hottest because the air won't be able to reflect out of the jar because it will be too dark and the white jar will be light so the air will be able to reflect out so the air hasn't got time to heat up! Procedure Dark Vs Light! 2 Similar or Identical Glass jars, Black Paper, White Paper, Sun, Water, Rubber Bands Or Sticktape, Thermometre, My hypothesis was confirmed! The jar with black paper got hotter quicker because the air got trapped inside the black jar when it reflected in and the jar with white paper the air just reflected in and out of the jar because the paper was too light, the black jar is more attracted to light! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! Observation: Equipment: Hypothesis: 1. Wrap the black paper around one jar. 2. Put rubber bands around the paper to hold in place or use stickytape. 3. Do step one and two with a white piece of paper to the other jar. 4. Pour the same amount of water into each jar. 5. Leave both in the sun for about 2 hours 6. Take temperature

Strikes fear into many because of its mysterious and unknown characteristics In regards to knowledge, darkness can mean being clueless mentally, and can also mean knowledge for negative uses. Being clueless mentally is self inflicted. This often leads to a tragic downfall.........Oedipus Similar to lightness, darkness aids the development of a character. (One can understand Oedipus' downfall better with Sophocles' descriptions relating to darkness/being clueless. Why do we fear darkness? Insecurity-fear of the dark because of the unseen Contrast: The main purpose of Sophocles' regular use of light and dark in Oedipus Rex is to provide provide clear contrast among characters and themes. Oedipus' self inflicted blindness is in the play to represent how Oedipus is clueless and lacks the light of knowledge. Sophocles described his writing style as "most expressive of the character." This is obvious in his light and dark symbolism He focused immensely on the character. Darkness also provides contrast when comparing the lives of those in the play, and our lives. Our lives appear great in comparison to Oedipus' dark life-catharsis Why darkness? The roads symbolize one's journey and life's reality the final destination is self actualization. Naturally, one would take the light road because there are no unknowns and reality is clear. The dark road involves not knowing the truth and reality, because it is unseen
