Summary with Quotations
Heart of Darkness
Opening
The Nellie (Name of the Ship)
A group of men are aboard an English ship that is sitting on the Thames
The group includes a Lawyer, an Accountant, a Company Director/Captain, and a man without a specific profession who is named Marlow.
The narrator appears to be another unnamed guest on the ship.
Marlow begins to speak about London and Europe as some of the darkest places on earth.
“He had sunken cheeks, a yellow complexion ... resembled an idol”
Marlow sitting like Buddha
He mentions colonization and says that carving the earth into prizes or pieces is not something to examine too closely because it is an atrocity.
“I was thinking of very old times, when the Romans first came here, nineteen hundred years ago...”
“Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps.”
“The map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with it's head in the sea ... The snake had charmed me”
“I, Charlie Marlow ... I got my appointment” (Aunt)
“Two women, one fat and the other slim, sat on straw bottomed chairs, knitting black wool”
“He gave me a searching glance, and make another note. Ever any madness in your family”
Outer station
“... decaying machinery, a stack of rusty rails... And I saw black people run.”
“... each had an iron collar on his neck, and all were connected together with a chain...”
A young boy approaches Marlow, looking very empty. Marlow can do nothing but offer him some ship biscuits.
They introduce themselves: he is the Chief Accountant of the Company.
After ten days of observing the Chief Accountant's ill temper, Marlow departs for his 200-mile journey into the interior of the Congo, where he will work for a station run by a man named Kurtz.
Marlow finally arrives at a secondary station, where he meets the Manager, who for now will oversee his work
“The word “ivory” rang in the air, was wispered, was sighed. You would think they were praying to it”
“I have never seen anything so unreal in my life”
(INNER STATION)
They meet a Russian man who resembles a harlequin.
He says that Kurtz is alive but somewhat ill.
Finally, he has the chance to talk to Kurtz, who is ill and on his deathbed.
Marlow manages to take him back to his bed.
Kurtz last words “Horror! Horror!”
Marlow returns to England, but the memory of his friend haunts him. He manages to find the woman from the picture, and he pays her a visit. She talks at length about his wonderful personal qualities and about how guilty she feels that she was not with him at the last. Marlow lies and says that her name was the last word spoken by Kurtz-the truth would be too dark to tell her.

Marlow is chief character of the novel. He is philosophical in nature and believes on independence. He is Thirty two years old. In beginning, he. Is depicted in the portray of Buddha. This portraying of him reflection of his truthfulness. He himself is narrator. As story moves on, the journey begins from our testation then to central station and ends to inner station at kango River. Thus the purpose behind this narration is to show hollowness of colonizim. Apart from this, Kurtz is second most important character. He is epitome of all kinds of brutality, and oppression of Europe. He is European and attributes so many good qualities. He is poet, painte, etc More importantly, these two characters reflect a major theme of restriction. Former live within and latter lives outside to society. The manager is chief manager at African territory and runs African territory.
