Explanation:
Kurtz goes crazy in novella “Heart of Darkness” due to his descent into the dark heart of human nature and the corrupting influence of power. Isolated in the depths of the Congo, Kurtz becomes consumed by his unchecked authority and his pursuit of ivory. Cut off from civilization’s moral restraints, he succumbs to the allure of savagery and indulges in brutal and ruthless actions. The intense environment and exposure to the inherent brutality of colonialism strip away Kurtz’s sanity, revealing the deeply disturbing depths of human depravity.
