Based on the context of Joseph Conrad's novella "Heart of Darkness," the statement that "Marlow is typical of many of his contemporaries who go to Africa" is generally true.

To arrive at this answer, you can consider the following:

1. Read the novella: To fully understand the character of Marlow and his experiences in Africa, it is essential to read "Heart of Darkness." This will provide you with detailed information about Marlow's character, motivations, and interactions with his contemporaries.

2. Analyze Marlow's contemporaries: Pay attention to the descriptions and actions of Marlow's contemporaries in the novella. Look for similarities in their motivations for going to Africa, their attitudes, and the impact of their actions on the African people and environment.

3. Consider the historical context: Conrad's novella is set during the time of European colonialism in Africa. Research the historical background and motivations of the Europeans who traveled to Africa during this period. Analyze if Marlow's experiences align with the typical attitudes and actions of his contemporaries.

4. Consult literary criticism: Read scholarly articles or analysis of "Heart of Darkness" to gain insights from experts in the field. This can provide additional context and interpretations of Marlow's character in relation to his contemporaries.

By incorporating these steps, you can develop a comprehensive understanding of Marlow's character and determine if he is indeed typical of many of his contemporaries who went to Africa.
