“I observed with assumed innocence that no man was safe from trouble in this world” (p.34). The narrator, Marlow, could be talking about the world that we all live in, or just the “world” that he is in, in Africa. The world we all live in is quite different for everyone, but trouble can find you even at the best of times. In this novel, however, I believe that Marlow was talking about the “world” that he was in in Africa, searching for Kurtz. He seems to feel unprotected in this area, and mentions how no man was safe from trouble.
