The Horror! The Horror!

In the heart of darkness, the river carries Marlow and his deteriorating companion, Kurtz, toward the sea. Kurtz's life parallels the descent into darkness, with the manager unconcerned. As Kurtz speaks, his eloquence masks a dark soul, haunted by visions of wealth and fame. Kurtz's confidence wavers during a breakdown, and he entrusts Marlow with papers. Kurtz's final moments reveal a profound despair, uttering, "The horror! The horror!" Upon Kurtz's death, Marlow remains indifferent, aware of the darkness within.
