I just finished Heart of Darkness and I am confused about two things. The first is why Marlowe likes Kurtz so much. I understand that he is very interested and fascinated with him, but I do not understand why he wants to defend his reputation. I also do not really know all of Kurtz's ideology.
I think this is a good issue for us to develop in class. Marlowe himself calls it a "fascination of the abomination."
