1.) “…No fear can stand up to hunger…disgust simply does not exist where hunger is…” (Conrad 54)’
There is no pain that is equal to the pain of hunger, it attacks you physically and mentally and is incredibly taxing in both ways. When a person is hungry to the point of starvation their mind fixates on it, it is completely set on thinking about food and quenching their hunger, nothing else can pass this wall, not fear, not sensibility, nothing. Conrad is using diction to make it apparent on the effects hunger has on the human mind, body, and soul.
