Heart of Darkness Questions #2

1. When Marlow is repairing the boat, he hears the Uncle and Nephew talking about Kurtz, the ivory man.  The Uncle is upset that the administration was sent down to their exploration team and doesn't want anything to do with them/him.  He wants to get rid of him...he wants him out of the country; he'd rather be alone than have people like him out there with him.

2. At the end, they were gesturing towards the forest.  It looked appealing, but inside, there was definitely death to be had.  It was frightening. 

3. The cannible crew was definitely a shock.  They heard screaming from someone and they found disfigured bodies of white men scattered about, whose faces were in a variety of expressions.  Marlow had a theory about why they didn't go after them.  There was too much fog and they didn't want to leave their canoes.  He also didn't think that they would attack because the noise was different.  It wasn't the horrifying screams that would come if they were going to attack.  They were just sounds of grief and sorrow.  Marlow seemed to be impressed by their restraint when they saw the travelers.  There were thirty of them and only five travelers.  They could have taken them down in seconds, but they controlled themselves and held themselves back.  They didn't even touch them.
