Part III of Heart of Darkness—ponder, discuss, report:


Groups:
Post your discussion notes here, making sure to identify which of the issues you chose to focus upon.

¶10: Kurtz’s first appearance and the meeting…kinship? Eyes?

¶13-16: The African Queen. The spirit of the wilderness?

¶18-21: Kurtz vs. the Manager: Choice of nightmares…”As it happens, I am Mr. Kurtz’s friend—in a way.

¶23-29: a descent into Hades? An encounter with the Fates?

¶29: Compare with Pt. II, ¶29.

¶33: Wistfulness and hate

¶36: The manager’s triumph. “Unsound method.”

¶48: Marlow’s valedictory on Kurtz
