Marlow's way of thinking consists of interpreting what is on the outside of a person rather than what is within. His external way of interpreting Kurtz's broad forehead or the forest that surrounds the station provides him with a more insightful source of information rather than an interpreted theory of the internal message. But the reader can connect the way Marlow feels about the Englishmen and the way he feels about the slaves, and how fascinated he is about the natives. He finally begins to realize the interior traits of slaves (real human beings), and not the creatures he once saw them as.

The struggle to find himself is why he must explore the uncharted world. It is an outlet to his need to find who he really is, and by exploring the world he is exploring himself. "The North pole is one of those places" that Marlow has not found in himself, and may never because he "shall not try now." But, for the time being he is in Africa and traveling the Congo, a place in his mind who he has not yet found. And from the beginning he sees the darkness he must overcome, the jungle.
