Heart of Darkness Day 7

Kurtz is ruled by evil; two evils fight for Kurtz’s soul and both fill his mind with greedy thoughts. Kurtz is so claimed by evil that, metaphorically, light cannot touch him anymore. Marlow claims that being alone in the wilderness has driven Kurtz’s soul mad. However, Kurtz cannot win for he is blind to what has trapped him. In his dying days, Kurtz’s words become more and more incomprehensible. Kurtz’s madness is causing him to go blind; he cannot see the sunlight. He is completely immersed in the darkness and evil of his soul.
