Conrad juxtaposes Western culture with its native
counterpart in order to formulate a vision that can
guide the alienated individual who has lost his
connection with his own nature, his family, and his
society. Unlike many of his contemporaries who only
describe this miserable human condition, Conrad
offers guidance to rehabilitate the individual.His
target is the Western mind, which needs to be
decolonized by being reminded of the fundamental
equality of all human beings.
Conrad s female characters, especially those who are
exposed to injustices and exploitations, play a very
crucial role in this decolonization process.They are
strong and capable enough to decenter the self-
evidence of the binary opposition between the male as
the superior and the female as the inferior. They
bring balance not only into social environment but
also into the power struggle between cultures. Once
the male and the female can relate to each other
without engaging in a power struggle, they will be
able to taste peace and happiness. This mutual and
complementary relationship becomes the symbol of the
social order Conrad s art envisions.
