Throughout the story Conrad uses an assortment of practicable meanings to detail the events and characters of the novella. Although there is a plethora of obscurity, the idea that women are naïve and uncanny remains clear throughout the tale. In fact, the only female name ever mentioned was the name of the ship. Women were seen as individuals that fail to understand the general practices of life. Their oblivious nature caused them to be removed from the horror of life’s realism. Marlowe states, “It’s queer how out of touch with truth women are. They live in a world of their own, and there had never been anything like it, and never can be.  It is too beautiful altogether, and if they were to set it up it would go to pieces before the first sunset.”  Although these women are occasionally scorned throughout Conrad’s tale, they do have purpose in the world. Take note at Marlowe’s aunt, who was able to get Marlowe his job for the Company, when he could not. After Kurtz’s death, Marlowe visits Kurtz’s Intended, who is certain of his love for her, further illuminating the novella’s idea of detachment in women.
