Heart of Darkness - My opinion

I don’t like Heart of Darkness because I don’t have a full appreciation for its thick symbolism and dark imagery. Because I have a difficult time breaking it down, it just makes it that much more difficult for me to enjoy. Another reason I don’t like Heart of Darkness is for the style it was written in. The language barrier itself makes me cringe. I think I would like a contemporary version of Heart of Darkness, though, because I actually enjoyed reading Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong.
