Conrad’s attitude towards colonialism is always a focus among all the studies on Conrad. Most researchers believe that Conrad is against colonialism. And some other researchers hold that Conrad’s attitude towards colonialism is ambivalent. This paper makes an analysis of Conrad’s colonial attitudes and finds that in the novel Lord Jim, he not only represents his default attitude of colonialism but also reflects his pro-colonial attitude. In essence, the salvation motifs can be seen as a symbol of the deliverance of colonists.
