This study is to examine Charlie Marlow's process in Conrad's novel, Lord Jim. This study valued highly on Marlow's belief in Jim's honor and royalty in Lord Jim. Jim is a character who jumps, falls and descends, but takes a plunge out of a rigidly conventionalized and ordered way of life. He fights and wins for his lost honor. Steering is important to Marlow. Steering means only your hands firmly round the palpable facts, fixing your eye on the immediate task. If Jim had had his hands on a wheel it might have anchored him to his duty and honor. Accordingly, we can find that Marlow tends to believe that we can reconstruct a more confidential neighbour, more loyal society, and more amusing world by endeavoring to seek the romantic and spiritual concept of life. Eventually Marlow lays emphasis on one's responsibility, honor, fidelity, devotion, love in order to vitalize our transient living. With this belief, Marlow has performed the perfect function of an analyser and commentator. He is indeed the pure ego of Joseph Conrad. He reflects the author's feeling and ideals important enough to be held in the course of living. His advocation of the pursuit of the romantic and spiritual dream is really an avowal of an endeavor to make us fit best for the hazardous enterprise of living.
Abstract
This study is to examine Charlie Marlow's process in Conrad's novel, Lord Jim. This study valued highly on Marlow's belief in Jim's honor and royalty in Lord Jim. Jim is a character who jumps, falls and descends, but takes a plunge out of a rigidly conventionalized and ordered way of life. He fights and wins for his lost honor. Steering is important to Marlow. Steering means only your hands firmly round the palpable facts, fixing your eye on the immediate task. If Jim had had his hands on a wheel it might have anchored him to his duty and honor. Accordingly, we can find that Marlow tends to believe that we can reconstruct a more confidential neighbour, more loyal society, and more amusing world by endeavoring to seek the romantic and spiritual concept of life. Eventually Marlow lays emphasis on one's responsibility, honor, fidelity, devotion, love in order to vitalize our transient living. With this belief, Marlow has performed the perfect function of an analyser and commentator. He is indeed the pure ego of Joseph Conrad. He reflects the author's feeling and ideals important enough to be held in the course of living. His advocation of the pursuit of the romantic and spiritual dream is really an avowal of an endeavor to make us fit best for the hazardous enterprise of living.
