Heart of Darkness: Chapter 2

We find out that Kurtz has been sent to the Congo with plans to turn the stations into beacons of civilization and moral improvement, and that Kurtz wants to take over the manager’s position.  This scares the manager and reminds him that Kurtz tried to previously change the system a year ago.  The managers uncle, after hanging and innocent African, says that no one will change the system (darkness).  And we finally get introduced to the heart of darkness.
