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.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.

Explanation:

In his famous speech '<u>Give me liberty or give me death</u>,' Patrick Henry urged the American Colonies to fight against England for freedom. The speech was delivered on 23rd March 1775 to the Second Virginia Convention. The speech was highly rhetorical.

The sentence that suggests the belief of Henry in the sufficiency of armed forces to the colonists is the second option.

<u><em>"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power."</em></u>

The word 'means' is used to refer to the armed resources that Henry believed to be bestowed by God of nature to them.

So, the correct answer is option 2.
