Abstract EN
This paper aimed at underscoring the callous role and ill-treatment of the colonization in Africa as it appears in the novella '"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad.
What happened in the Congo as it was depicted in the story was a prototype to what happened in all background countries.
Ignorance of these atrocities, led some writers of dark complexion to praise the colonizers and even to lament their "early" evacuation from African countries.
The researchers adopted the descriptive analytical method.
The researchers started with a background and the summary of the story, then a brief introduction to the main characters to put the reader through.
The researchers gave a sample to the conquest of a conqueror; that is Britain the main conqueror.
Then the researchers documented some incidents which prove the downfall and refute the claim of the colonizers and their stepsons of civilizing the natives.
The bad treatment also included the natives who consolidated the rule of the white man .The researchers came with results that the mere objective of the colonizers was to make money.
The researchers recommended that the colonization history better be revised and novels like Things Fall A part could be taught in all ex-colonies
