I am totally bullshitting my way through Heart of Darkness. It's just so damn... DENSE.
Just watch Apocolypse Now, it's basically the same story...
Yeah, I skipped ahead a little. It didn't look that complicated when I first started reading it, but damn this Marlow guy is long winded. I'll probably finish it before class, but I needed to write up some paper for it beforehand, so I just futzed with some of the symbols in it and how it relates to the Modernist Era, etc. I'm confused about how Kurtz dies, though. Was it the fever or did Marlow shoot him? I thought I saw something in there about threatening to kill the other, or something like that.
