Heart of Darkness
Do you guys ever think about what would happen if Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, or Batman turned evil? And if they were to do so, how do you think they'd do it? It all started when I finished reading Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness in our AP English Literature class. Honestly, I was with most people at first, the book was very boring. Most of the reading was quite dense and felt like you were hacking at a bunch of bushes that kept regrowing onto the path you were walking. However, just when I was on the brink of madness, I perused the Internet looking for deeper insights into the book. I came to a realization, and I very good question, is there evil in all of us? More specifically, does great capacity for good mean great capacity for evil? Let's take a look at our friend Batman, he himself never had the cleanest of records compared to other superheroes. He was orphaned at a young age after his rich, philanthropic parents were killed by a small-time criminal.
