commences with the exposition of Marlow’s journey up the Congo River. Furthermore, the
novel’s rising action will also be thoroughly evaluated. This rising action is utilized by
Conrad to create a sense of suspense and mystery for the readers. Moreover, the novel then
presents the reader with the climax. The climax shows the reader the death of Kurtz which
leaves a deep impact on the psyche of Marlowe. The denouement is shown in the novel as
Marlowe meets Kurtz’s wife to convey the message of his death. Finally, the novel is brought
to a conclusion as the wife is showcased to be the symbol to be the epitome of justice.

complex in considering himself to be the epitome of human existence, only to make him act
