“That lack of restrain arises from the lack of an inner core of faith emerges from Conrad’s continual linking of evil with hollowness and of goodness with devotion to or belief in something.”
this is a quote i have to compare two characters to and relate. I already have the hollow character (obviously) Kurtz here is what i have
Kurtz is a man, who in spite of his genius and lofty idealism is "hollow at the core." If put in relation to the quote, this hollow man ruthlessly kills Africans, steals their natural resources in order to forward his own goals for rising in the company and in the world, and presents himself as a deity to be worshiped by the natives, and there for there is a relative connection between hollowness and evil.
Im thinking of making Marlow the not hollow character but how could i relate that to the theme of goodness with devotion or belief in something? where is the link?? Does Marlow have something he strongly believes in that could prove the statement about good
