HOD blog due wednesday up to p 31

In this section of HOD, Marlow settles in at his final destination and gets to know the people in his ring of hell. To me, this section was unimportant and, therefore, forgettable. Yes, there are a lot of good lines that perpetuate the metaphors, images, etc. but nothing really big happens. This section's saving graces (double entendre) are that Marlow submits a little at the end to being in hell (by letting the barn and fields just burn) and we find out about Kurtz. We learn Kurt's official title, his job prospects and details, how grand his reputation is, and that he is basically the devil working in the heart of darkness. The rest of the chapter, though, was just filler and a lot of sarcasm. Here's my prediction based on this section: Marlow is going to meet Kurtz and he is going to love him and start hating him. once he realizes his true nature, Kurtz will die and then Marlow will realize that he has become evil too and everybody is evil in the end. Granted, i have already read the novel, but this is all derived from information in this section and a knowledge (from many years of reading) of how story lines work out.
