The Heart of Darkness is what Conrad called a "hidden evil" in his novel ]. The Heart of Darkness is a universal part of the human condition that was first notably used in Conrad's literature. To be put simply, the Heart of Darkness is a human's struggle with their own morals, and their own battle with their inner evil. Although first chiefly used in the novel, this device is now used in countless pieces of literature and media, it is an unwritten conventions for almost any piece of art. For example, one of the most notable uses is the ] franchise, with characters always struggling over falling to the Dark Side of the Force.
