Marlow's diction in Heart of Darkness truly makes the reader feel like he is a part of the story. For example, on page 407 Conrad writes, "It made me tingle with enthusiasm. This was the unbounded power of eloqunce." Conrad wants to the reader to live vicariously through Marlow and with his words of "tingle with enthusiasm," the reader gets a sense of the exact feeling that Marlow encountered.
