That is, the knight is "just home from service" (l. 73) and is in such a hurry to go on his pilgrimage that he has not even paused before beginning it to change his clothes.

(I, vii, 40-46). "She feels in an instant that everything is at stake, and ignoring the point, overwhelms him with indignant and contemptuous p ...

... for the deadly Ebola Zaire virus. Ebola Zaire is the most lethal of all strains of Ebola. It is so lethal that nine out of ten of its victims die. Later, the geniuses at USAMRIID found out that it wasn't Zaire, but a new strain of Ebola, which they named Ebola Reston. This was added to the list of strains: Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and now, Reston. These are all level-four hot viruses. That means there are no vaccines and there are no cures for these killers. In 1976 Ebola climbed out of its primordial hiding place in the jungles of Africa, and in two outbreaks in Zaire and Sudan wiped out six hundred people. But the virus had never ...

... changing his view of London as "the biggest and the greatest town on earth" to being a "monstrous town… marked ominously on the sky… a broading gloom of sunshine…" It is important to realize, however, that both the frame narrator and Marlow absent information as affected by their own background and white, European upbringing and also personal experiences. Hence negative views on women and (unconsciously) African natives and strong views on colonialism and to a lesser extent racism arise. Marlow quickly expresses his view on colonialism that "The conquest of the world which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different comp ...
