Sample text
But since he was only loosely acquainted with the settlement, he probably supplemented his knowledge with various books about the area. The shift from a bustling port city to a remote island village signals a shift in the novel as well. After Jim arrives in Patusan, the fantasy element grows stronger. The novel becomes much more like escapist fiction, with less emphasis on the troubling moral questions that dominate the first half. Remote villages are much more the stuff of romance than cities are.
This fracturing of chronology was one of Conrad’s most important contributions to the development of the novel, though he didn’t take it as far as later writers such as William Faulkner. In fact, the novel overall has a conventional chronological structure, beginning with Jim’s early days and moving on from the Patna incident to Jim’s stint as a water clerk in various ports, then to his eventual success in Patusan and, finally, to his death. This overall chronology stays intact, even though within chapters, or groups of chapters, the time sequence is radically rearranged.
But he’s capable, and in a short time he rises to the rank of chief mate (second-in-command). ” It remains to be seen whether he’ll turn out to be the hero he thinks he is. And when a week of furious storms gives him a chance to show his mettle, an injury lays him up and the opportunity passes. You learn more about Jim while he’s shut up in his cabin. Most of the time he’s frustrated or bored. But occasionally he’s overcome by terror of the storm. Jim’s imagination makes him a lively and intelligent man, but it also makes him have vivid fears.
