Frederick R. Karl

-One idea I found very interesting in Karl's essay is his connection with Freud and Conrad. He states that there are extraordinary parallels between their achievements. Freud studied dreams at around the same time Conrad was creating ideas about the Congo. Freud even wrote his book about his observations of dreams shortly before Conrad's Heart of Darkness was published. This is a very interesting connection that I would love to further explore with my classmates during our discussion next class.
