Answer 2

Answer:

C.) They live in their own world, far removed from the reality of men

Explanation:

In Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", there are just two women (Marlow's aunt and Kurtz' intended) who are white who are of significance with the main protagonist of the story, Charlie Marlow. Both represent the patriarchal authority of the society that they are living in, trophies for their men. To Marlow, women "live in a world of their own, and there has never been anything like it, and never can be. It's too beautiful altogether, and if they were to set it up it would go to pieces before the first sunset." (Chapter 1). This rightly sums up his image of women.
