Colonialism is indeed utterly and totally evil. In this book, one of the theme is about colonialism. Slavery is one of the impact of colonialism. The company puts agents everywhere and takes the native as their slave to look for the ivory. It is stated that "people (natives) that mostly black being chained and naked walks in line and looks like ants". These people were forced to work for the agents. These natives were considered as slaves where they have no names and being forced to work for nothing. They do not have enough food to eat and even left somewhere else to die alone and slowly. Money being taken away from their land and they were left suffering till death.
This cruelty leads to the proof evil heart or the dark side of human soul. Only man that have such evil heart can performed such evil doings. Life seems to have no values to these people. Money seems to be everything. The killing of the tribes and people are the example of Kurtz's darkness of heart.
