Hmm, I'm not really sure! I liked the whole idea, I guess. Kurtz was this guy who was supposed to be this cultured, amazing genius and yet he was so corrupted by the wilderness and did all this insane stuff just so he could stay there, even while dying. "The horror! The horror!" There are a lot of lines that randomly stick out for me, too, with imagery about the river and stuff. Obviously I've never been to the Congo, but it was so vivid in my head that I felt like I was there, almost.
I haven't read it in a while, though, so a lot of the finer details are a little fuzzy for me. |D
