Heart of Darkness Q.2

In Heart of Darkness, Africa is a land known for being dirty and chaotic, while London is a place known for its elegance and modernity.  However, Marlow reminds the reader that London also faced dark times where bandits ran freely and wildly, when it was being colonized by the Romans.  The role of the people of London have switched though, since they are now colonizing Africa, and see it as a place of anarchy.  This reminder shows that every country/civilization had a starting/dark period of time it faced.
