Lord Jim (Joseph Conrad, 1900)

General notes

• published serially in Blackwood's 1899-1900
• 6: why the short précis of the story?
• 7: repeating that he was generally liked -- why? This plural locus of character evaluation?
• 29 so far the reading tends to be in the metaphorics of the story, Jim's sense of advenuture and Marlie saying "before the end is told"
• 31 Patna captain keeps getting compared to objects, objectified

Theme tracking

Shakespeare allusions

• 44 "there's some sort of method in his raving" (doctor to Marlow abt Patna engineer, Hamlet)
