Heart Of Darkness

I don't like how the book ends. It's so sudden as though something more is supposed to happen. Also, all throught the book there is darkness portrayed even until the very end. Marlow at the end lies to Kurtz's wife, telling her that the last words out of Kurtz's mouth was her name but that was not true. The lie is the main source of the darkness. But he lied to her for her benefit, he felt as though he was obligated to tell her what she wanted to hear instead of the truth. Although it was a lie, it was out of concern for her well being.
