Marlow realizes that the Africans are kept as slaves, and many are dying from the brutality of the conditions. He's deeply weirded out by this fancy-pants guy and by the camp in general-and things haven't even started to get nightmarish. Then, when he gets to Africa, he meets a dude wearing starched, formal clothing despite the heat. When Marlowe signs on to take this voyage, he sees a couple of old women knitting in the corner. If you think "The Company" sounds super-sketchy, you're right: from the get-go, Marlow feels a nameless sense of dread about working for "The Company." (It doesn't help that the last guy to have held Marlow's position.was murdered.)
Aboard a British ship called the Nellie, three men listen to a dude named Marlow recount his journey into Africa as an agent for "the Company," a Belgian ivory trading firm.
