HOD #10

“It was hot there, too; big flies buzzed fiendishly, and did not sting, but stabbed” (p. 15). The narrator of this novel is an excellent story teller. He can draw in his audience using imagery such as “did not sting, but stabbed”. Even though Conrad may exaggerate, it helps to more accurately elucidate the events and moods throughout the novel. In this example the narrator emphasizes just how obnoxious the flies are.
