Ok, this is actually my Section 2 blog

1. Who is narrating now?
2. What is Marlow begining to feel?
3. Why switch the narrarators?
I feel through this section the reader is starting to truly understand Marlow. Marlow got into this business of going to Africa because of his immaturity. He sought adventure, and was a 'seaman', he dreamed of conquering new lands. Africa caught his attention through the river. The river enchanted him like a snake and he was like a 'foolish bird'. Snakes eat birds. Marlow then sees some natives who are starving. He doesn't worry too much about it, but this does 'trouble him' just like the ship he sees firing aimlessly into the bush. These are the beginings of Marlows analysis of the morals of what he is doing.
