Marlow means that Kurtz has lost his mind in his search for ivory. Kurtz has become so obssessed with the accumulation of ivory that he has set his own "kingdom" inside the Congo where he has become a sort of god for the natives, and has them working for him.

Kurtz first aspirations were to win the love of a woman. Hunting ivory in the jungle provided respect and power, and it would also earn the respect of his lover's family, who rejected Kurtz because he was poor.

Give your own sarcastic remark. Is sarcasm ironic? Explain your answer.
andre [41]
Sarcasm is an ironic or satirical remark tempered by humor. Mainly, people use it to say the opposite of what's true to make someone look or feel foolish. For example, let's say you see someone struggling to open a door and you ask them, "Do you want help?" If they reply by saying, "No thanks. I'm really enjoying the challenge," you'll know they're being sarcastic. Sarcasm is all about the context and tone of voice, which is why it works better verbally. It's something you'll know when you hear it.
