Meaning Marlow was kind of on his own, he was the only one that did not understand what was going on. ]]> 2018-01-22 14:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/223354707 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/226612276 Marlow had different beliefs than the men that accompanied him on the ship. Marlow followed his beliefs that the other men discarded of. Leaving him alone in his beliefs.  ]]> 2018-01-31 15:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/226612276 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/228642508 When the manager comes out of the cabin saying that he is ready for Kurtz to die, but Marlow comes out and says that he is an amazing man. Alienating himself because now the manager hates him for disagreeing with him. ]]> 2018-02-06 15:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/228642508 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229151217 Marlow is alienated by the type of world he sees in the jungle. The technology that the Europeans have introduced to the natives do not look natural in the jungle environment and it makes him feel uncomfortable. ]]> 2018-02-07 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229151217 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229155015 Marlow and Kurtz were the only characters in the book, that were given human names. The names the other characters were given alienate them from Kurtz and Marlow. Giving them names like the " Manager" poses as a symbolic meaning but nothing more. ]]> 2018-02-07 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229155015 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229158026 Kurtz inflicts lonliness on himself. Kurtz cut himself off from humanization. When Kurtz grew ill and the chance to go back to Europe and get better came along he refused to go back. He alienated himself from common sense. ]]> 2018-02-07 15:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229158026 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229161665 " Everything belonged to him - but that was a trifle. The thing was to know what he belonged to, how many powers of darkness claimed him for their own" (Conrad 73). 
The quote represents the fact that Kurtz went mad and gave his sanity up for ivory. The quote shows that Kurtz is turning into a savage, and losing himself in Africa and the Ivory. ]]> 2018-02-07 15:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229161665 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229167208 Marlow has never met Kurtz in his life, but at the near thought of Kurtz dying shakes Marlow to the core. When Marlow actually thinks that Kurtz is dead he wants to be alone with his thoughts. ]]> 2018-02-07 16:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229167208 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229167870 The Russian is willing to do anything to be accepted by Kurtz. He says that Kurtz has threatened his life before, but he insists that its normal.The Russian also says that Kurtz goes periods without talking to anyone, but he respects it. The Russian is willing to do the dirty work for Kurtz as long as he does not disappoint Kurtz.]]> 2018-02-07 16:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229167870 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229199865 The woman are alienated through out the whole story. Woman are scene as an object to own. They are left in the dark for their own safety; to keep them from the harsh reality, they are seen as an almost purity that can not be broken. ]]> 2018-02-07 16:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/229199865 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/231019086 "The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into too much" (Conrad 7). Taking away from the natives is seen as okay, because they are seen as inferior. The natives are just used for work if one dies, another one can be brought in for work. The natives, are alienated due to their race. Just because they look different, they are enslaved for work. ]]> 2018-02-13 13:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/231019086 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/231027442 ""He was an improved specimen; he could fire up a vertical boiler... A few months of training had done for that really fine chap"" (Conrad 36). All of the negativity towards the Africans created a notion to avoid and use the Africans for better. Marlow was able to see past what screen was put up for the Africans. Marlow was able to create a bond with a native, and was even able to admire him. ]]> 2018-02-13 14:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/231027442 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232334588 " My dear aunt's endeavors to 'nurse up my strength' seemed altogether beside the make" (Conrad 71)

Woman are depicted to be careful and caring. Here in the text you see that the aunt is seen as a caretaker or someone who is willing to take care of Marlow. Woman are automatically seen as someone who will do anything for the superior male. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232334588 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232336528 "He had been wandering that river for nearly two years alone, cut off from everyone and everything" (Conrad 54)

The Harlequin had been isolated from humanity for nearly two years before he was discovered by Kurtz. This can be seen as self isolation. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232336528 msic7040 https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232337770 Putting heads on the fence is a way of Kurtz isolating himself. Putting the heads where everyone can see, struck fear into the natives. To remember to respect him, and stay honest. The heads made him not seen as one of the natives but as a superior. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/msic7040/yz7r6xnp2axj/wish/232337770
