Essay Instructions: I have an essay due next week about a quote in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The quote is "It was the stillness of an implacable force brooding over an inscrutable intention. It looked at you with a vengeful aspect. I got used to it afterwards; I did not see it any more; I had no time." in page 106 of my copy of the book. My copy is a hard cover that is blue and has Heart of Darkness and the Secret Sharer in it and the publishers are Signer Classic. I need a 5 Paragraph about the essay that analyzes the quote and how it reveals a key theme in the novel, and you can use quotes that are cited to help prove the points but only in part 2. In the essay I also want "my opinion" of what the implacable force and inscrutable intentions are.

Also, for the sources I would only like them from the novel.. ex. short quotes, plot events, etc..
