Document Summary
Manager refers to kurtz as being of "unsound methods" He"s become little more than a voice, metaphorized into a ghost/vapour, as marlow describes him. Marlow suggests that unsoundness has to due with clues we"re given on the shore. But marlow only suggests that kurtz lacked restraint in the gratification of his lusts; says something about desire. The knowledge they"re talking about is closely connected to the wilderness itself. Interesting image: that of a wild, gorgeous apparition of a woman who represents. "the image of the very mysterious life, and indeed the passionate soul, of the wilderness itself" Kurtz also described as a "voracious mouth, open wide" that seems to want to swallow everything around it. Need for inborn belief; mere methodology won"t suffice. A sort of reversal happen in text, of language of speech. In the way marlow describes her, the woman.
