Tusks Of Vietnam: Analogy Of Heart Of Darkness And Apocalypse Now Tusks of Vietnam In the heart of the jungle, the heart of man finds no boundaries. Both Joseph Conrad and Francis Ford Coppola follow this idea to unimaginable places in their respective works of art, Heart of Darkness, and Apocalypse Now. Both stories apply the same concept to their different time periods, allowing Coppola’s latter work to comment indirectly on the society of his time. Where Conrad delves into the humanity within the British Empire’s hunt for ivory in Africa, Coppola delves into the humanity within the American ‘Empire’s’ blind hunt for communism in the Vietnam War. Keeping in mind Conrad’s groundwork regarding the savagery of man, Coppola utilizes the essential nature of Conrad’s composition to form his own derogatory statement about the war in Vietnam. Bringing this to the surface in the strategic organization of Coppola’s story, he draws parallels most particularly between key characters in Heart of Darkness and his own story, who guide both protagonists’ mental pilgrimage into themselves. By equating these major elements in his story, Coppola provides striking commentary upon the most controversial issue of his time.
