The savages and Kurtz, in fact, belong to the heart of darkness. The central character, Kurtz, comes under the influence of the savages and becomes one of them in the same dark place called Congo.
The major and significant events of the novel take place in the Dark Continent, though the first and the end of the story takes place outside the continent. So the continent was called the heart of darkness.
The setting time of the novel Heart of Darkness dates back to those periods when the continent of Africa was not fully explored. The etymological meaning of the phrase Heart of Darkness is the innermost region of the territory which is yet to be explored, where people led the nomadic and primitive way of living.
