Marlow’s admiration of Kurtz stems from his belief that Kurtz is truthful. Kurtz, after all, was appalled because of the truth he knew; he spoke of “the horror” that he had witnessed and committed. The truth, then, becomes a significant theme in Marlow’s mind, in Kurtz’s character, and in Conrad’s writing. The truth controls Kurtz and represents what he is and what he has become.
