Described as the only man who still follows the sea. While most seamen lead a sedentary life, he was a wanderer. No mystery to seamen but marlow is a bit different he"s not typical. Talks about the fact that there"s also darkness and incomprehensible waiting these men and they endure that it"s not just light and good stuff when it comes to voyages, there"s darkness too. The men in is story are not colonizers but conquerors violent murderers who steal land away. Reference to weakness of a storyteller not knowing what audience wants to hear. The two women who supposedly guard the door of darkness , knitting black wool . Idea of not coming back once they go out doctor never sees the people again.
