"'We will be all butchered in this fog', murmured another." (123)Fog can be related to darkness, but Conrad makes it into something that is perhaps may be worse. In the darkness nothing can be seen, and it tends to be a set back; For example when they are only eight miles away from Kurtz but they decide to stop because they do not want to go on in the dark. However with fog, it allows to see fragments of information, yet holds back key parts. In Marlow's journey fog is a major obstacle to him and the travel of his steamboat.
