On Meaning September 14, 2019September 5, 2019 / Bob Conrad’s intention. In the center is Kurtz’s “The Horror; the Horror”; Marlow’s telling of the story; Then the audience on board the ship who have listened and reacted to the story; The outer circle is the community of readers/critics of Conrad’s novel who interrelate; Finally the story’s meaning to the larger society.
