康拉德的早期作品多讲述白人男性在殖民地的生活。由于小说以殖民地为背景,有色女性作为这片土地上的居民,成了故事中不可或缺的一员。在康拉德的小说中,她们是放荡、野蛮和愚昧的,不但缺乏判断能力,而且还没有自决自治的能力,她们无法承担起传统赋予她们服务男性的社会功能,最终成为了白人的负担。从后殖民批评的视角来看,康拉德对有色女性的看法打上了种族和性别双重歧视的烙印。 Conrad’s early works are more about white men’s colonial life. Because of the colonial background of the novel, colored women, as residents of this land, became an indispensable part of the story. In Conrad’s novels, they are demoralized, barbaric and ignorant. They lack the ability to judge and have no self-determination and self-determination. They can not afford the social functions of men who are traditionally provided to them and eventually become the burden of whites. From the perspective of postcolonial criticism, Conrad poses a stigma of double-race and gender discrimination on colored women.
