Kurtz have little to talk about, they develop a distinct respect for each other. As Kurtz dies, Marlow accepts this death easily and remains loyal to his dying requests. There is a point where Marlow finds the evil that sits in heart of all men, and he simply accepts it. This is mostly clearly demonstrated at the end of the story when he says "Dont you understand I loved him-I loved him-I loved him"(93). In real life he hated Kurtzs actions, but he loved his power to fight the standards of society and to live as a true man. This story can be the result of two completely different aspects in Conrad's life. One, is his journey in the Congo. Another would be an act of man to throw his life away....
