> Victory by Joseph Conrad

## Answer

Victory by Joseph Conrad develops Colonialism and Exploitation across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Set in the Dutch East Indies, the story critiques colonial exploitation through characters like Morrison, who is ruined by Portuguese officials, and the coal company's failed venture. The exotic setting serves as a backdrop for the ruthless pursuit of profit and power.

The Tropical Belt Coal Company represents colonial economic exploitation, with imported coolies and foreign capital reshaping local industry.
