Louie talked about how sibilence in the passage on page 40 combined with the imagery of the painting revealed to Marlow his first true insight into Kurtz's character. The light and dark imagery and the "s" sound created a conflict between the description Marlow has heard of Kurtz so far, and the deeper understanding of who Kurtz is as revealed to Marlow by the painting

Marlow - the protagonist - was once a fresh water steamboat captain in Congo. He experienced the brutality against the natives and comments on its injustice, yet refrains from calling them fully equals.  Racist elements are embedded into him (either as a result of Conrad's writing or as a result of the character himself) often referring to the natives as savages or akin to such.

Kurtz is basically considered a superman. Highly praised yet often subverted. Many people plot against him- considered problematic, yet he yields good results

This man was the king of Belgium for 44 years and created a colony within the Congo. His wishes of gathering more resources and more global power for his country were met in a brutal fashion, mostly including blackmailing and torturing natives to force them to collect rubber. This horrific treatment of the native population continued for decades and Leopold attempted to prevent word of this spreading by having all of his personal records of mistreatment destroyed before his death.
