dc.description.abstractLiterary critics have often read Joseph Conrad’s character Charlie Marlow as either autobiographical or as a literary trope, leaving ample space for his mimetic features. This thesis sets out to make an ontological space within literary theory for the mimetic aspects of one of Conrad’s most important characters. By fusing Jérôme Meizoz’s theories on author postures with Algirdas Julien Greimas’ pragmatic semiotic models, it looks at the construction and development of Charlie Marlow’s posture within, and in between, the following works of Joseph Conrad: “Youth”, Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim and Chance (NB in that order). The ‘Marlovian’ antithesis between responsibility to group standards and individual idealism, between ‘solidarity’ and ‘solitariness’, forms the central theme of Marlow’s struggles and his posture is researched specifically in relation to this inner conflict.en_US
