The Physical Journey...

It is interesting to notice how Marlow's speech pattern, and word usage differs and changes as he goes through his physical journey and as he gets deeper into the heart of darkness. Examining what we have read so far, one can notice the more staccato and short phrases and sentences, often separated by a hyphen, even. This demonstrates Marlow's uncertainty, and fear. He isn't quite positive about what he will endure next in this journey, and his language expresses that. It is interested to see how his emotions reflect from his  words.
