This is a lecture for Arts One at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC
In the first half of this lecture, Derek Gladwin (guest lecturer for this session) discusses the historical and cultural background to Apocalypse Now, its genre, its references to T.S. Eliot, and the significance of the song by the Doors that bookends the film.
In the second half of the lecture, Christina Hendricks discusses themes of light and dark, surface and depth in Conrad's Heart of Darkness, as well as concerns about racism (as put forward by Chinua Achebe) and misogynism in the text.
