Book Villains

[funes]

Yes, you can classify Kurtzas a villain, but Conrad's stories are rarely as cut and dried as hero vs. villain. Or rather, it's truer to say that there is rarely a single source of evil.

Yes I see what you mean. Probably this is why I could not decide if Kurtz was really villain or not. Did you read Typhoon? That is also a very good story, in my opinion.

I don't think that I've read Typhoon - at least, not in the last 20+ years. However, as I said, Conrad is one of the greatest writers to have ever lived, in my opinion.
