Pretty straight forward actually.

Kurtz has realized that every man has a heart of darkness, and, after shaking away all of his English ideals of progress, this realization reigns in a solipsistic state not of nihlism, but of imperative creativity. He does not cower under the weight of self-knowledge, but formulates and promotes the same imperialistic ideology already promoted by the Western world to serve his master plan of eliminating all life that refuses to bow before him. Think Hitler if we fell for the "he did it all because he disnt get into art school" meme.

Am I the only one that found this book difficult to read?

I went in thinking I'd blow through a quick novella but it was so dry, dense, and frustratingly nondescript. I constantly had to reread passages to get a feel for the setting and events because there was such sparse imagery and I don't know shit about boats.

It was tiring, wrestling with this book, but Conrad came off as incredibly intelligent and experienced and I did enjoy it. But damn.

it's a dense book and sometimes I would get lost in the descriptions to the point where I couldn't even remember what was going on. It's a dry book, but it's fun to write about because it's so filled with things to talk about.
