Marlow sees the European effort to colonize and civilize the natives as a futile effort.
- Kurtz goes to Africa to help build up the ivory trade and civilize the people there, but instead takes advantage of the people, builds himself up, and loses his civility.
- The doctor Marlow sees takes all this information and measurements but it is pointless because the people never come back for him to finish his research.
- The slaves are so mistreated and malnourished that they cannot even do work properly, defeating the point of civilizing them entirely.
- The Europeans were suppose to be so modern and efficient, yet they had a difficult time transporting to and around Africa. Whereas the natives were stalking around in the bushes with ease.
- In Africa there were "European settlements some centuries old, and still no bigger than pinheads on the untouched expanse of their background."
