Pathos, Ethos, and Logos

• Pathos:
The treatment of the blacks by the British they are used for slave labor and are fed little and when they cant work, they crawl off and die.
• People like Marlow because he is honest, tough, intelligent and relatable
• The Belgian king Leopold treated the Congo as his private treasury and the Belgians had the reputation of being far and away the most cruel and rapacious of the colonial powers
• On Marlow's journey into the Congo he meets men from a variety of European nations, all of whom are violent and willing to do anything to make their fortunes

• Ethos:
This untried dogmatism is at the root of the NDA rout; for it shows a cavalier irreverence to the ethos of India, which not only adopts but also adapts.

• Logos:
Went to the Congo to make the Europeans more civilized.
• They are going to Congo for Belgian company so that they can get more money.
• Marlow expresses horror when he witnesses the mal treatment of the natives and he argues that a kingship exists between black Africans and Europeans. He states that this kingship is ugly, horrifying and distant.
• Marlow's aunt as he is leaving expresses her hope that he will aid in this civilization of savages daring his service to the company, "she's wearing those ignorant millions from their horrid ways."
• There company operates for profit and not for the good of humanity.
