Heart of darkness part 3

The Russian trader tells Marlow about Kurtz's true nature. Apparently, the trader has been with Kurtz for many months now and tells Marlow that Kurtz is obsessed with ivory. Kurtz has supposeivly raided many of e native villages in search for it and the native's love of him has given him extra power because he gets some other natives to go on the raids with him. On posts around Kurtz's hut, there are heads of African natives put up like fence posts encircling Kurtz's hut. Apparently, on Kurtz's way to another ivory raid, he got terribly sick and that's when the entire sickness thing started when Marlow arrived. Marlow starts to make excuses by saying that Kurtz is just empty on the inside and he needs something to fill him. Suddenly, a group of men surround the house that Marlow and the trader are at and try surround the stretcher that is supporting the now dying Kurtz. Out of the darkness, an "apperition" as Marlow describes it, of a. beautiful African woman appears to Marlow dressed in golden paint and tribal cloth. Before disappearing again, she gestures towards the sky and then exits. Later, while everyone is resting, Marlow notices that Kurtz is missing and sees his trail. Marlow goes and retrieves him and finnally realizes that Kurtz is crazy and he needs to be at rest. The morning comes, and everyone is prepared to return to Europe. Kurtz is put in the ship as well as the others. Marlow is at his bedside where he is given a stack of papers and photographs from Kurtz. Much later, Kurtz dies. Marlow has returned back to  Europe in a fit about his idol, his friend dying before him. Marlow goes and finds the woman in the photo that Kurtz gave him. She ends up being his wife they talk for a while about Kurtz until Marlow says that Kurtz said her name as he was dying.
