"My purpose was to stroll into the shade for a moment; but no sooner within than it seemed to me I had stepped into the gloomy circle of some Inferno." (85)
The Divine Comedy written by Dante, talks about Inferno. The meaning of Inferno is hell. When Marlow steps into the shade, he feels that he has found this. Countless bodies lying there helplessly and about to die. Once again, Conrad uses the darkness as a representation for death.
