Summary of chapter2
Marlow heard that Kurtz who is in
the upper reaches had disease from the manager of the center branch office.
Also, he heard Kurtz was heading there with elephant tusks from the hinterland,
but suddenly he left the elephant tusks to his assistant on the way and he went
back to the hinterland by himself. Marlow wonder at that. When the ship which
was broken was fixed, Marlow left for the hinterland with the manager, four
employees, and local sailors. When they were around Kurtz`s place, all of a
sudden, a lot of arrows came down into the ship. The steersman was countering
with his gun, but a long arrow which came from somewhere stabbed at him and he
died. When they arrived at the branch office in hinterland finally, there was a
Russian man who was 25 years old. He worshipped Kurtz. They heard that Kurtz
had controlled the residents in the hinterland and he had abused his power and
he had collected the elephant tusks from people by violence. They carried Kurtz
who was in sick to the ship, but soon he died with his word “The horror! The
horror! ”
