"'My Intended, my ivory, my station, my river, my----' everything belonged to him." (137)Up to the time of Marlow and his crew's arrival to the Inner station, it is all he can do to not think or speak about Kurtz. Kurtz is somewhat of a god-like symbol in Heart of Darkness. Conrad has Kurtz bring negative emotions to people such as greed (from the Ivory). However, he is so respected by all sorts of people that he has a power like no other.
