Text z Príbehu

  • By Bindu Chunduri and Shreshty BudakotiCaravan
  • “There’s something pathetically childish in the ruins of grass walls”
  • Marlow's Sunken Steamship
  • Is this the Manager's doings?
  • “Everybody had behaved splendidly! Splendidly!.. Go and see the general manager”
  • Your ship sunk.
  • Marlow's Conversation with General Manager
  •  “Men who come out here should have no entrails” (Conrad 16).
  • "Men who come out here should have no entrails"
  • Analysis: Throughout the novel thus far, we have seen glimpses of the horrible practices being done in the sake of expansion. This quote could be foreshadowing that workers from the company will see horrible things being done to the Native people, and the workers should be heartless to participate and accept these practices.
  • Marlow goes on a 200 mile caravan of 60 men that lasts for 15 days. The landscape was extremely barren and Marlow did not see any signs of civilization. Marlow hears faint sounds of drums, and he meets an intoxicated white man who claims he is taking care of the road, although Marlow found no trace of a road in sight. Marlow comes to understand that the other workers from The Company came here in need of money, rather than for the sake of adventure like him. 
  • Marlow's View on Expansion
  • “And outside, the silent wilderness surrounding this cleared speck on the earth struck me as something great and invincible, like evil or truth, waiting patiently for the passing away of this fantastic invasion” (Conrad 17).
  • After Marlow’s companion falls ill, the Black people accompanying Marlow on the caravan tried to leave, but Marlow threatens them. After 15 days, Marlow went back to Central Station and a man with a moustache told him that Marlow’s steamboat was at the bottom of the river. He tells Marlow that he must speak to the manager immediately and not to worry as everything is in order. 
  • Fire at the Shed
  •  Summary: Marlow has an eerie feeling about the manager, as he seems to hold many secrets in his twisted smile. He tells Marlow about Kurtz and how he and his ivory port are struggling. The manager does not like Mr. Kurtz, and he feels threatened by the success of Kurtz and his ivory. 
  • Marlow's Conversation with Brickmaker
  • "You are of the new gang - the gang of virtue"
  • Marlow begins working the day to fix his steamboat following his discussion with the manager. While working, he saw white men carelessly walking around the yard discussing ivory and showing their internal greed. Marlow is astonished to hear their discussion and thinks of them as soulless.
  • Analysis: To Marlow, nature is great and has immense power. But, White people, in the spirit of expansion, have taken advantage of the area’s ivory for their own personal benefit. Marlow recognizes the unfairness involved in expansion, but he can not do anything to fix it. So, he hopes that this expansion and its surrounding atrocities come to an end soon.
  • A shed caught on fire, and the White people barely made an effort to contain it. The White people blamed a Black person for the fire and began beating him heavily. The white men said the fire was incredible and that Mr. Kurtz would take advantage of this incident.
  • "Take advantage of this unfortunate accident"
  • Following the fire, the young aristocrat invited Marlow to his house to gain insight on Mr. Kurtz and utilize the connection he thinks Marlow has back in England. The young aristocrat was living luxuriously, and he has not had any work to do because the area lacks brick supplies. Marlow learns that Mr. Kurtz is not who he seems to be.
