He Had His Dream
by Paul Laurence Dunbar

He had his dream, and all through life,
Worked up to it through toil and strife.
Afloat fore’er before his eyes,
It colored for him all his skies:
The storm–cloud dark
Above his bark,
The calm and listless vault of blue
Took on its hopeful hue,
It tinctured every passing beam—
He had his dream.

He labored hard and failed at last,
His sails too weak to bear the blast,
The raging tempests tore away
And sent his beating bark astray.
But what cared he
For wind or sea!
He said, “The tempest will be short,
My bark will come to port.”
He saw through every cloud a gleam—
He had his dream.

The raging tempests tore away

And sent his beating bark astray.

My bark will come to port.”

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it—
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;
but when the sun passed toward unyoking time,
then the Achaeans, one by one, gave way.

Read the following excerpt from Heart of Darkness:
I've seen the devil of violence, and the devil of greed, and
the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars! these were
strong, lusty, red-eyed devils, that swayed and drove men-
men, I tell you. But as I stood on this hillside, I foresaw that
in the blinding sunshine of that land I would become
acquainted with a flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a
rapacious and pitiless folly.
Why did Conrad most likely include this passage in the story?
O A. To convey the sense of overwhelming human evil in a world where
devils outnumber stars
O B. To show that devils, like human beings, gain weight if they don't
work out regularly
A
C. To express the idea that foolish ineffectiveness is the central
problem of colonialism
O D. To show that pretending to be a devil is foolish, and that it is better
to try to be good

Answers

The sentence seeks to convey the idea that colonialism's core problem is foolish ineffectiveness. So, option (C) is the correct answer as per the heart of darkness.

What was the heart of darkness about?

Heart of Darkness investigates the atrocities of Western colonialism, portraying it as a phenomenon that tarnishes not only the nations and peoples it abuses but also those who push it in the West.

The novel Heart of Darkness by Conrad is unfairly political, depicting how colonialism ruins the hearts and souls of all people.
