Heart of Darkness Day 2

The two female gatekeepers knitting black clothing in the company station in Africa connote the gateway within the abyss of darkness. Once Marlow accepts embarking on his quest, he encounters the general manager who appears to be an average man; however, Marlow suspects an odd uneasiness about his character. Moreover, the general manager claims that Kurtz is rumored to be ill and cannot meet with Marlow. He also declares that he took the boat out in a hurry to relieve the inner stations.
