In Heart of Darkness, Marlow makes a comparison between the history of Roman civilization and his travels into Africa. While he travels into Africa, he not only brings his physical being, but also brings the ideals and characteristics of London with him, similar to that of the colonization of the Romans in London. This idea of self identity applies to both situations, as both groups of people/ person migrate into a new area and don't change to fit their new surroundings, but keep their roots close to heart in hopes of spreading their ideals and morals to others in the world.
