Posted by ask996 on Saturday September 5, 2009 at 5:13 PMMarlow is found in some of Conrad's other works, and he seems to be a man's man. The cynism that he portrays is in response to life events that have perhaps marked him in some permanent way. Despite this, the reader finds he has integrity as well as intelligence, and an approachable toughness. All of which makes him an easily identifiable hero.
