The Title
I can not help but think there are lots of links between this text and other texts. The title, Voyage in the Dark, reminds me of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. However, Voyage in the Dark is the exact opposite of the latter. In Heart of Darkness, the Congo is the savage land, while Europe is pure, but in Voyage in the Dark, Anna regards London as the dirty, dark, impure, savage city and her home in Dominica as the pure bright land. Anna essentially describes her journey through England as the voyage indicated by the title.
