1.) “…I’ve seen the devil of violence, the devil of greed and the devil of hot desire…swayed and drove men…” (Conrad 21)
The devil is said to be the most evil entity that we know of, he is also said to be incredibly powerful and persuasive. By saying that he has seen the devil of each of those three things he means that he has seen them in their absolute worst. Conrad is comparing each word or sin to the devil, stating that as bad as each sin is, it had been seen at it's very worst.
