    A Comparative Study of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and George Orwell’s Animal Farm: A Postcolonial Approach
    (UNIVERSITY OF ABBES LAGHROUR-KHENCHELA, 2019) Amira REGHIS
    ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a postcolonial framework through which Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Orwell’s Animal Farm are compared. It attempted to question the already established similarity of the two authors’ stances towards their nation’s imperialism through involving the seemingly pro-revolutionary Orwell’s novella. The study, however, established Animal Farm as a sequel to Heart of Darkness. The first and the second chapters of the work offer the theoretical background of the comparison, emphasizing the related postcolonial theories and the prominent figures who coined the concepts the study utilized. The last chapter presents the analytical discussion of the main aspects of convergence and divergence between the two literary works on the basis of the postcolonial approach.
