Working Intro Paragraph

    As Marlow embarks deeper into his voyage through the promiscuous darkness of Africa, he becomes more obsessed with Kurtz's personality and life and exemplifies his need to find Kurtz in order to become his savior. Marlow's determination to locate Kurtz drives him past his fears of everything he encounters. For instance, as Marlow travels through the unknown jungle, he completely filters out any anxiety the unfamiliarity of land can bring. As Karl proclaims, the jungle is supposed to play the role of the "repository for our fears". In Karl's mind, he believes Conrad creates the unethical jungle to represent a symbol of fear. Individuals are supposed to fear all of the jungles surroundings; however, Marlow clearly exhibits an indestructible demeanor. He is able to withstand any obstacles existing in his path and overcome the bitterness of the jungle.
