He was an interesting man. In many ways “interesting” isn’t the most positive way to describe something but that’s how I remember him.

What intrigues me the most is the hidden underlining meaning each and every story carries. There are three prominent themes I would like to discuss‚ the figurative and the literal blindness of the characters in the works‚ enlightenment‚ and the freedom the characters experience throughout

When Marlow tries speaking to his crew about the situation‚ they think he went mad with fear and show no emotion‚ remaining apathetic.
