Heart of Darkness?
heres the quote..."Paths, paths, everywhere; a stamped-in network of paths spreading over the empty land, through the long grass, through burnt grass, through thickets, down and up chilly ravines, up and down stony hills ablaze with heat; and a solitude, a solitude, nobody, not a hut. The population had cleared out a long time ago. Well, if a lot of mysterious (n-word)s armed with all kinds of fearful weapons suddenly took to traveling on the road between Deal and Gravesend, catching the yokels right and left to carry heavy loads for them, I fancy ever farm and cottage thereabouts would get empty very soon."
I need to know...
-how this quote explains the theme of the novel
-how it relates to other passages with the same thematic concern and...
-what the proximite events are...is it Marlow or the narrator describing the jungle on the way to meet Kurtz??...I NEED HELP!! anything would be greatly appreciated
