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.

Hey there!
Based on how (Elizabeth) react's and talks to this person, it seem's to be more "logic" than anythings else. This seem's to be reasoning on what the person is doing.
To state out some quotes from the passage: <span>we have entirely determined not to marry an absent husband; and that we shall give you no certain reply until we shall have seen your person.
The quote that was brought out that is listed above is what I wanted to explain. It seems like (Elizabeth) is pointing something out for this person to help this person in what she is going to do. She is giving "logic" reasoning to this person.
This is why I believe that your correct answer would be "logic".
Hope this helps.
