Psychoticism In Heart Of Darkness, By Joseph Conrad

Schemmel In the book Flowers for Algernon Charlie is really dumb, but he wants really badly or not. The doctors in the story help him become smart by running tests on him.

Guns are used as a medium into each characters emotional state. Throughout the story they are used to signify power, dominance, control, and how each character used the weapon and its meaning to achieve (or ultimately fail at achieving) their goal through the narrative.
