From all of the facts and reasons presented throughout the book and in this essay it is obvious that Jack’s descension into savagery is indeed true.

Lord Jim’s better half The reader encounters no sign of a woman role in the beginning and middle part of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim. It is not until its last chapters that the reader can see a woman figure. Perhaps‚ the reason for late appearance of a woman in the novel is due to Conrad’s unique style of writing. The story begins with the narration of a third person‚ which later in the novel Marlow takes over. The narration of the story goes back and forth; it does not start at the beginning of
