Internal Struggggggle

In this section of reading of Heart of Darkness, a lot has happened. Marlow has gone through all of the motions to be able to go to the Congo, and has now arrived in Africa, waiting to get onto another steamer to get to the Inner Station. He has now walked and traveled across the land, to see the natives and how they are ‘natural.’ He knows that they are supposed to be there and he, as a white man, isn’t.
He notices that the reason he is there is not because he thinks that he should be reforming everything that these natives were doing. He wasn’t for the cause, he was in it for the adventure. He knows that what he is doing there is wrong, but at the same time he doesn’t feel that these natives are equal by any means. He thinks of them as animals or creatures, only free when they have died. This is his main internal struggle.
