It seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness. "He made me see things-Things!" - Answer-The Russian stayed up talking with Kurtz all night, and he expanded his ideas, but Marlow sees darkness coming from this. He would "forget himself amongst these people....forget himself." The Russian is recounting how he tried to make Kurtz leave and return to civilization. Kurtz would say yes, and then he would remain, go off on another ivory hunt, and he would be tempted again by greed and the savage part of his soul and forget his civilized self. "I! I! I am a simple man. I have no great thoughts. I want nothing from nobody. How can you compare me to...." - Answer-The Russian continues in his loyalty to Kurtz, making excuses about how life treats Kurtz, justifying his savagery (such as the killing of the rebels and the staking of their heads). "I'll carry my ideas out yet-I'll show you what can be done. You with your peddling little notions." - Answer-Kurtz is reacting to being taken away from Africa by people he sees as having inferior vision. He has just watched his mistress on the banks of the river. "Because the method is unsound." - Answer-The Manager is referring to Kurtz's method of obtaining the ivory. He is trying to separate himself from Kurtz's inhumanity, however, ironically his methods are not better. "Mr. Kurtz's reputation is safe with me." - Answer-Marlow is asked by the Russian not to betray all of Kurtz's methods to the Europeans and the Company - to not destroy his false reputation. Marlow has to make a choice, and chooses tentatively to keep Kurtz's secrets. "Oh, he enlarged my mind" - Answer-Again, the Russian trader, this time on his departure to save himself from death, is remarking on Kurtz's ―brilliance and remembering poetry they shared. Discuss the symbol of heads. You will be lost-Utterly lost - Answer-Kurtz has left the boat, crawling to return to the native camp. Marlow has stopped him and warns him that if he continues, he will be utterly lost and separated from the civilized bounds of the earth. This is symbolized by the spiritual man that is standing nearby in the forest. Do I not? - Answer-The natives are on the banks of the river repeating the shouts of Kurtz's mistress. Marlow asks Kurtz if he understands this, and this is his reply. He has a mingled expression of wistfulness and hate and the words are almost torn out of him by a supernatural power. "'You can't judge Mr. Kurtz as you would an ordinary man.'" - Answer-The Harlequin offers this comment to Marlow about Kurtz. "But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens I tell you, it had gone mad." - Answer-Marlow makes this comment as he reflects on meeting Kurtz alone in the wilderness. "He was a remarkable man." - Answer-Kurtz is remarkable to Marlow because he can create something out of the numbing nothingness of the Congo. "I heard a light sigh and then my heart stood still, stopped dead short by an exulting and terrible cry, by the cry of inconceivable triumph and of unspeakable pain. 'I knew it—I was sure!' . . . She knew. She was sure. I heard her weeping; she had hidden her face in her hands. It seemed to me that the house would collapse before I could escape, that the heavens would fall upon my head. But nothing happened. The heavens do not fall for such a trifle." - Answer-Marlow is speaking to Kurtz's fiancé. This is her reaction after Marlow tells her that Kurtz's last word was her name. He lied out of pity. He probably thinks she's too delicate to know the truth but strong enough to have suffered. "Mistah Kurtz—he dead." - Answer-The "manager's boy" appears and announces this in a scathing tone. "These round knobs were not ornamental but symbolic; they were expressive and puzzling, striking and disturbing—food for thought and also for vultures if there had been any looking down from the sky; but at all events for such ants as were industrious enough to ascend the pole. They would have been even more impressive, those heads on the stakes, if their faces had not been turned to the house." - Answer-As Marlow and the crew arrive at Kurtz's they are greeted with the grisly sight of severed heads on stakes decorating the fence. This shows Kurtz's ability to kill and feel nothing from the act and is using such a ghastly display to inspire fear and honor from the natives around them. Kurtz is not a nice man, but Marlow's lack of surprise is because the heads are not of white Europeans but of the black savages, to him the sight is less sick than symbolic. It is symbolic of the hollow heart of Kurtz, of the darkness that dwells within man.
