Marlow admires Kurtz's ability to adapt and survive in Africa. However, Marlow does not appreciate Kurt'z insane and outlandish methods. Kurtz has learned to become one with the African people and has learned to be apart of life there. He uses brutality to survive but it works and Marlow is truly attracted to Kurtz's innate ability to live in Africa. Marlow almost wishes that he has Kurtz's gift of being able to survive.
