Comparing Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and The Quiet American by Graham Greene

Compare the role women play and how women are represented in both Heart of Darkness and The Quiet American. Reach some conclusions about the relationship between Gender and imperialism in these texts. Care should be taken to construct an argument that draws textual evidence ( and includes bibliographic information), is logically consistent and is clear and persuasive in its argumentation.
Essay should not be an answer to the question but more of an essay.
