Heart of Darkness and "The Hollow Men” Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness reveals the theme of self-reflection‚ however that reflection leads to a caliginous finish filled with vacantness. A poem written in 1925‚ “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot‚ portrays a nearly equivalent feeling of emptiness. Both of which form a vacuous‚ hollow existence of man.

Analysis T.S. Eliot’s “The Hollow Men” to me represents several interpretations of death or “the end”.
