On his way, he went home and picked up a baby, Gabriel who would be released (killed) soon, with him and they started their journey to escape.

The government in the story is the b .....

venture figured as his descent into hell. He returned ravaged by the
illness and mental disruption which undermined his health for the
remaining years of his life. Marlow's journey into the Congo, like
Conrad's journey, was also meaningful. Marlow experienced the violent
threat of nature, the insensibility of reality, and the moral
