Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad?

I recently compared the way Heart of Darkness to the Wizard of Oz...my reasoning (and this was said in the essay) was because HoD is told from one point of view. Although there are other charectors, you don't necessarily hear their story. Only the one side. In WoO, it is also told more from Dorothy's standpoint then any other characters. My professor said that WoO did not belong in the same category as HoD. He said it was more along the lines of Star Wars. What are your thoughts on this?

I don't think Wizard of Oz is at all like Heart of Darkness, especially if your only selling point is point of view. What puzzles me is whether your prof was saying WoO is like Star Wars or HoD is like Star Wars.

If we're going to compare Heart of Darkness to a movie (or movie-book), I'd say "Apocalypse Now"... Joseph Conrad wrote pretty heavy stuff, and 'Darkness' is about (to me) degeneration, not fun and games.
You have a lot of moxie to compare Wizard to Heart, I'd say!
