so i have to read this book for english, which i struggled through, but now that im done i have to do a seminar and am in need of some help...so i need some ideas on the signifcance of the accountant (not marlows friend on the ship, the cheif accountant he meets)! im pretty sure the accountant represents imperialism, but if anyone has anything to add to that or any other ideas that would be great! thanks
