In the novel, “The Heart of Darkness”, there were many things that happened to Kurtz. Many people would just listen to him rather than talk to him. He was an intelligent man and he inspired many people. A person who was living to get to listen to him was Marlow. I believe that while Kurtz was in the jungle, he found out who he truly was. He went into the jungle knowing full knowledge of what he was getting himself into, he found his inner savage. He turned from his old ways and turned into the…
