Body 2

(Need to be longer/more examples but heres what i have so far)

Marlow’s reactions and thoughts about the character of Kurtz set Kurtz up as a model for what happens when the id takes over. Conrad illustrates Marlow's true attitude towards Kurtz and his actions influenced by the id which constratsts with his attitude when observing the natives. Unlike the fear and disgust Marlow felt when seeing the natives act, he is deeply fascinated by Kurtz and his un-explanatory actions stemming from the id. Each time Kurtz behaves in an interesting manner or irrational way, Marlow is drawn closer to Kurtz and only wants to see and learn more. When Marlow tells the readers that Kurtz has "gone back in the dugout" (39), Conrad has provided the readers with a perfect example of what happens when the id takes over. The behavior Kurtz is involved with is irrational and un explainable, and that is exactly what the id is. The id will inevitably take over in situations even when one does not want to, and Conrad affectively displays Freud's theory of the id and human behavior through Kurtz and the fascination he brings on Marlow.
