    antagonist or protagonist. Today, I will compare two books with many differences and make a verdict on which is better in my opinion. I enjoy horror novels, and after looking at the cover and reading the back, I was especially excited to read this one. What was great about this novel is that it felt as if you were actually in the movie theater, watching a horror movie, because it’s extremely descriptive, and painting a mental picture is anything but tough.

These demands quickly gained support as the French army won victory after victory against the First Coalition, as the Vendee and Federalist Revolts were suppressed, and the horrors of the…

An addition point was that an apocalypse would be true white-collar horror because it will be a constant event with no end, which means that these skills will always be obsolete unless there is an immediate change.

    If Kurtz had died with the Intended’s literal name on his lips rather than, “the horror, the horror” (Conrad 69), conclusions about Heart of Darkness would be vastly different. In the event that this had happened, Kurtz’s journey to Africa would have been for nothing because he would not have gained the self-knowledge that is required of that of a mythic hero. The Intended considers being Kurtz’s last thought before his death to be a triumph, displaying the shallowness and ignorance of the…
