Identity, Imagination, and Command

Abstract: Abstract Both Conrad and Melville were fascinated by the ambiguity that presents itself in the attempt to understand human nature. Conrad was compelled by his need to find the truth in the human condition. As he wrote in his preface to The Nigger of The Narcissus, “And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect… The artist, then, like the thinker or the scientist, seeks the truth and makes his appeal.”
