Introduction The focal point of the paper is to prepare a compare and contrast scenario between the movie Heart of Darkness by director Nicolas Roeg, starring Tim Roth and John Malkovich, released in 1994 by Turner Home Ent, and the novel ‘Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe published in 1999. These two works are a mirror image of each other in the context of the portrayal of Africa from two opposite perspectives. Discussion Heart of Darkness is the story of Marlow who works for a British trading company engaged in colonial Africa and the chief merchandise is ivory that he barters with the natives. Here he meets Kurtz who is the alter-protagonist of the story. The movie is seen from Marlow’s perspective but the fundamentals of thought process are predominantly the racial insanity of Kurtz. He hates the jungle, the country, its people, and every associated with Africa. This is a thorough depiction of racial injustice, insanity, and greed. In sharp contrast, Achebe’s novel is on the other side of the story. ‘Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe narrates the story of the moving and tragic character of Okonkwo. He is one of the most respected elderlies in his village and holds enough power to influence his population. However, Okonkwo is helpless once he finds British colonization creeping in and destroying the traditional parameters of the village and their culture as a whole along with the ramification of their religion with the invasion of Christian missionaries. We find that the British administration, being more civilized, imposing their culture on the African communities and incorporating laws that they find hard to understand and digest. The book narrates the hard nature of these foreign invaders. It tells us from the point of view of the oppressed and colonized how they considered the native population to be sub-human and eradicates all cultural and social aspects that are considered traditional. The book makes one aware of the dark side of imperialism that in common perception was viewed as a noble helpful norm and a ‘ white man’s burden to civilize the natives. This was a huge blow for a community that was a complex culture, rich with history and tradition. We found earlier that this society was bonded with various ancient traditional rules, which were even operational even in art. The author mentions, “ Among the Ibo the art of conversation is regarded very highly, and proverbs are the palm-oil with which words are eaten .” (Achebe, 5) Thus, it is evident that when the colonial forces invaded their life things began to fall apart for Okonkwo and his community. Kurtz, himself, is the face of this colonial force. He kills a monkey by breaking its neck in a joking gesture and wraps it around Marlow’s neck as if the elements related to Africa are disposable and he is the owner of this land. This was the basic psyche of the colonials in Africa. It was as if these invaders were doing a favor to the natives and any injuries to the continent, its population, or nature caused by them were depicted as collateral damage. (Roeg, 1) People like Kurtz had no other intention but to use the local resource and satisfy his greed, which was fundamentally never to diminish, at the cost of the local population for which, people as Okonkwo paid the price. Okonkwo and his c
