Conrad could have described "the horror" but that would have short circuited our imagination and it would have broken the spell of unreality on that boat. Conrad's racism was fairly mild apparently, and this enabled him to be effective detailing colonialism in his work. Critics who ignore history are like a middle schooler lecturing his parents. Conrad's wife may have been the horror.
