who lived in his work, writing about the
experiences were as if he were writing about
himself. Every novel contains an element of
autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since
the creator can only explain himself in his
creations. (Kimbrough, 158) The story is written
as seen through Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a

Religious Paradise Chase World

condemned to participate in that chase. The
stomach might well be satisfied by such
participation, but not man insofar a...
