At many points Marlow loses his composure due to his inability to convey meaning. In the beginning‚ the “outside” narrator equates a story’s meaning with a “haze”‚ or fog (1893). In his analogy‚ the meaning is “brought out” with a “glow” of light. But shine too much light‚ and the fog envelopes the path (i.e. facts of the story). This is what happens when Marlow concentrates
