Heart of Darkness pg 17-26

In these pages Marlow I feel sees images of himself as he describes his scenarios very depressingly. He sees black African slaves chained together and under the guard of another slave. He says “devils” of violence, greed, and desire, but that in Africa he became acquainted with the “flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitiless folly.”  This quote presents thats Marlow has become more accustom with a lower level of existence of black people.  As well as meeting the white company chief accountant who as well presents himself in a devilish manner.  Symbolically I feel that Marlow is facing his demons head on.
