  1. Extract:

    Conrad gives the personification of nature as a wounded animal, one which is even disrespected upon its grave. The wilderness is more powerful then the man, because the man is not able to control himself, transforming him into a pathetic and mindless creature, blinded by reason and guided simply by passion and obsession, making him the victim of the wilderness and deep remorse.
