conrad..marlow..darkness..heart -- Of.






























The passage on page 394 that describes going up the river has such vivid imagery which, in effect, evokes detailed thoughts for the reader. "The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish. There was no joy in the brilliance of sunshine." Marlow creates a scene that makes the reader feel as though he is in the jungle with them. Moreover, the type of dense and heavy language used, reflects the jungle environment that they are traveling through. He uses as many elements as possible to create this sense of life in the wilderness.
