The author characterizes the narrator as a man who was strongly shaken by everything he witnessed in Africa.
This can be seen because:
- The book's narrator, Marlow, is very excited to participate in the journey to colonize Africa.
- This excitement is created by a strong influence of the setting where he finds himself.
- This scenario is a prosperous Europe, due to strong colonization.
- However, the narrator's excitement ends when he arrives in Africa.
- The setting in Africa is very different from the setting in Europe.
- In Africa, the narrator interacts with a scenario of poverty, exploitation, violence, devaluation, and decadence, all created by European colonizers.
- The narrator is very shaken by this scenario and shows himself to be a physically and mentally ill man. He becomes weak, distraught, and unable to act normally.
This change in narrator characterization is very significant for "Heart of Darkness." This is because the author wanted to present an anti-colonial story, as he wanted to show that all people involved in colonialism and imperialism were negatively affected.

I would say the best answer is A, he hides behind a tree. I was in between A and D, but one can run in a park.
B wouldn't work because him being dressed in ordinary street clothes doesn't show that he's afraid of something.
C wouldn't work because although yes, he was panting, that could mean that he's just tired; not necessarily, scared.
The man hiding behind the tree is the best evidence for the conclusion of him being afraid of something. Also in the passage it states, "....he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting."
