In the novel "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, the characters Kurtz and the pilgrims behave differently in different settings. Here is a breakdown of their behavior in each setting:
1. Belgium: In Belgium, both Kurtz and the pilgrims initially act civilized. They represent the façade of European civilization and suppress their inner savagery. However, no specific examples are mentioned in the novel to illustrate their behavior in this setting.
2. The Congo: In the heart of the Congo, Kurtz fully embraces his savage nature. He becomes consumed by power and indulges in brutal actions, disregarding any semblance of civilization. He becomes a symbol of the darkness within each human being. On the other hand, the pilgrims also act savagely but attempt to conceal their actions. They cover up their brutalities and maintain the appearance of being civilized individuals.
3. On the steamer: The behavior of the pilgrims on the steamer is not clearly emphasized in the novel. It is possible that their actions on the steamer may not have been significant or memorable enough for you to remember them. This could explain why you do not recall specific details about their behavior during this particular setting.
It's worth noting that the behavior of Kurtz and the pilgrims in each setting serves to highlight the themes of civilization versus savagery, the darkness within humanity, and the corrupting influence of power in the novel.
