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
