Another essay is waiting for correction.

First, thank a lot to Mister Micawber who corrected my first essay.



Marlow's narrative has featured prominently mysterious sighns and symbols, which marlow has struggled to interpret. Now he confronts the reality of the Inner Station, and witnesses that symbols possess a disturbing power to define"reality" and influence people. The natives perceive Kurtz as a mythical deity and think that the guns carried by his followers are lightning bolts, symbols of power rather than actual weapons. Marlow and the Russian trader are aware of the guns' power to kill, however and they react nervously at Kurtz's show of force. Kurtz himself acts as a symbol for all of the characters, not only the natives. To the Russian trader, he is a source of knowledge about everything from economics to love. To Marlow, Kurtz offers "a choice of nightmares," something distinct from the hypocritical evils of the manager.



well, hope u wont mind if the essay is too bad....
