What kind of narrator is used by Joseph Conrad in "Heart of Darkness"?

a.second person limited
b.first person limited
c.third person limited
d. third person omniscient

There is no one answer for this, I think. This book is in "story within a story" format. The inner story is clearly first person, but you'll need to decide about the outer (or frame) story.

To determine the kind of narrator used by Joseph Conrad in "Heart of Darkness," we can look for clues within the text. In this case, Conrad uses a first person limited narrator. This means that the story is being told by a character within the story who has limited knowledge and can only reveal their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This perspective allows the reader to see the events of the story through the eyes and interpretation of the narrator, who in this case is Charles Marlow. Marlow's account provides a subjective and personal viewpoint, as he shares his impressions and reflections on the events that occur throughout the novel. Therefore, the correct answer is b. first person limited.
