IndexIntroductionChapter oneChapter twoChapter threeConclusionIntroductionMany people have advised me not to read this book, since it is very confusing, it is not clear, that I read it in Spanish if I do I don't understand it in English , so I listened to it and read it in Spanish, and yes, it's very confusing, it contains some words that I actually don't use in my vocabulary, and besides being told like one story and suddenly it's already in another scene, it leaves something incomplete in the whole story I was telling, and so I got lost, but little by little I was reading it, I was realizing how it is this reel that skips different parts of the scenes that happened.

Get an original essayI have detected some important details in the way in which the main character achieves his undertaking, which is a character who is very clear what he wants and finds himself with a set of circumstances suitable for him to continue his story, from the simple fact of earning a place in the company with the help of his aunt, up to the crossing of the entire Congo river in which he is the only one who does not suffer attacks, all with the sole aim of reaching his destination, is also interesting see how this character is very interested in getting to know a character who is practically not seen throughout the entire work until a very short time at the end Kurtz, who gives reason to be the character of Marlow, discovers this through the anecdotes of the other characters who worked they were also in the company and were located along the river in camps that were used to move to safety towards the end, where Kurtz was located.

When he went to the Company's premises, he underwent a medical examination and then said goodbye to his aunt. He embarked on the river that was about to sail and after thirty days reached the river where he met the Company. Here, Marlow meets an accountant with whom he has a conversation about a boy named Kurtz. Later, Marlow leaves the Company and meets the director and a young man interested in knowing how Marlow got the job. Chapter Two Marlow is lying on the deck of his boat when he hears the manager and his nephew talking about Kurtz. He didn't understand what they were saying and got up to find out more.
