Marlow’s struggle with surpassing his id only gets worse as he joins deeper. His misogynistic views are reveled when he mentions woman as both shallow and disconnected. He believes that woman should be kept in their place and he does this by objectifying them to nothing more than the material goods they are surrounded by. The man who was at first compared to a dirty begins to lose faith in humanity and reveal his true feelings that were suppressed and buried before. When his boat is being shot at and the Helmsman died, marlow shows no remorse and even blames the Helmsman for his own death. Marlow shows no compassion for human life which coincides with Freud's theory on man which illustrates man’s inner desire to harm and hate our neighbor. Moreover, Marlow develops as sense of admiration towards Kurt's who is a megalomaniac. “Kurt's is a remarkable man”. Marlow saying this alienates him from the rest of the crew. Marlow idolizing Kurtz is the indicator that all that he once valued has been thrown away.
