Kurtz File

After read this book, I have to say Kurtz is a complex man. He is the chief of the Inner Station which belongs to a company.

They entered into another society with ivory, savage, conquest, massacres, blessings as well as darkness.
They were parallel to each other and that is why Marlow and Kurtz are the only two people in the novel who are addressed by their actual
