The Experience of Fear in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now

Abstract

I am going to look through the novel and the movie trying to find answers for the next questions:

Where we can find particular examples for the manifestations of fear in the novel and movie? How do the different characters live through these situations? How do they try to save themselves? How can some people use fear as a device to rule others? Appearances of physical and mental terror. How can moral be changed under the effect of fear and dread? How can people live in mortal fear of death? What devices are used to express fear in the novel? What techniques are used to express fear, dread and terror in the movie?
