“Marlow ceased, and sat apart, indistinct and silent, in the pose of a meditating Buddha.” (Conrad 118).This statement, at the end of the story, shows Marlow’s supreme knowledge and almost omniscient quality in comparing him with Buddha, a religious figure who became enlightened after many travels and journeys, much like Marlow’s. Marlow, after his long and trying voyage, now has knowledge and insight into many things that others don’t, such as Kurtz’s disposition and actions, and the cruel ways of mankind.
