This thesis aims to analyse Joseph Conrad's Under Western Eyes, focusing that this text reveals both revolutionist’s contradiction obsessed with ideology and absolutist’s corruption trapped in indolence and rigidity in Russia with the rhetorics of the author’s unique irony. Under Western Eyes written in 1911, is considered to be one of Conrad’s major works and emphasizes conflict, deception, and betrayal about the historical failures of revolutionary ideals. Throughout developing this course, Conrad informs us how much self-deception of language and self-predicament of revolution exist everywhere in life, comparing various revolutionists taking charge of revolutional duty with ambiguous English narrator depicting tyrannical Russian revolutionists. This novel, furthermore explores that every truth already contains absurdity of self-predicament and self-hypocrisy through this novel’s all sorts of characters, including an anonymous English narrator. Among them, it is main character, Razumov that is caught in dilemma, and has troubles and difficulties between a contradictory doctrine and autocracy. In the course of unfolding views and ideals of Razumov who is placed in complicated conditions that suspected of betrayer afterwards, an old teacher of languages, the narrator confesses the limit languages have. This is also an important subject conrad wanted to emphasize enthusiastically, related with language and representation. Eventually, Razumov’s torment caused by his betrayal is fortunately developed into profound inner awakening. Throughout this course of main character, Razumov’s disillusion reminds us that Under Western Eyes quests human’s real nature, the problem of morality and ideology. It is estimated that this is a main theme Conrad intended to depict ultimately.
