In Heart of Darkness, the author uses very few examples of foreshadowing.TrueFalse

In "Heart of Darkness," by Joseph Conrad, the use of foreshadowing is indeed subtle and limited. While the narrative does include some elements that hint at future events — such as the ominous description of the journey into the Congo, the darkness representing both the physical journey and psychological descent, and early warnings about the dangers ahead — it does not heavily rely on traditional foreshadowing techniques.

Instead, Conrad focuses more on building tension and atmosphere through richly descriptive language and thematic elements. This approach creates a sense of inevitability regarding the journey into darkness, reflecting the themes of imperialism and the human condition. Therefore, the statement that the author uses very few examples of foreshadowing is True.

Conrad’s narrative style emphasizes existential themes rather than providing clear clues, which makes the few instances of foreshadowing significant in their subtlety, reinforcing the overall atmosphere of dread and foreboding in the novel.
