Blog #2 - Heart of Darkness

i thought it was very interesting that near the beginning of the book, there is definitely forshadowing that once people step into this area of Africa - they slowly change. the doctor hinted this when he creepily talked about how the changes that come from this part of the land are usually inward - and it didnt sound like a good thing. as well as saying that most people dont come back. after marlow meets the brick maker and immediately didnt like him, he talks about how he HATES lies - he said it is EXACTLY what he hates and detests in the world. there is a flavor of mortality in them. yet he said he would lie for Kurtz against the brick maker. he would sacrifice his morals. what he believes in already. ALREADY something is changing in him and he doesnt even realize it. something in the darkness is getting to him where he would change what he believes is right... what could happen next, for he is not even IN the darkness yet....
