Re: 15
(Anonymous) 2008-02-23 01:27 am (UTC)(link)It's not really an analysis, it's just the sense I got from her. Like, she's dressed in all black, which is to be expected, but the longer they converse, the more her forehead sucks the light out of the room, and she's wailing and shrieking and grabbing at him like some sort of demon at the same time. All that blackness in one room is, in a sense, all of the blackness pouring out of Europe in the Colonial Project, y/n? She is surrounded by icons of white power in the very center of The City. It even sounds a little bit like Kurtz's station when Marlow describes it, so I wouldn't be surprised if she had dead men's bones hidden in there too D:. It's like she's going SWALLOW EVERYTHING WHOLE or something.
And her eyes glitter D:. The only things that really glitter in that book are pretty nasty things. Like the serpentine Congo river (which flowed from the savage place that drove everyone at least a little bit mad), the cannibals' eyes, and the brickmaker's eyes, (paper mache mephistopheles, what).
I mean, I don't think she represents the superficiality of European ideologies at all. All the females are pretty powerful in that novella. Marlow's aunt got him a position on a ship whose previous captain got himself killed over some lady chickens. The rescue mission was impeded by some scary African Witch archetype who was Kurtz's mistress? I think? So, naturally, his Intended has to be pretty damn powerful too. HOORAY for stupid conjecture. I mean, she commanded the entire conversation and even drove Marlow to "lying", even though he spends like, half a page ranting about how much he hates lying.
Okay, shutting up now, haha. :(.
Re: 15
I always want to smack Marlow when he insists that "the women should be left out of it entirely." Guess what, Captain? You can't leave us out of it. Know why? 'Cause we're a part of it. You know quite well that evil is inherent in humanity, so cut out all this Madonna-worshiping bull about how pure and innocent women are. Don't you dare deny us our humanity.
