1.) “…He had the pose of a Buddha preaching in European clothes…” (Conrad 9)
Buddha was a spiritual teacher in the north eastern region of the Indian subcontinent that founded Buddhism. He is known for his very distinct stature, he is said to be handsome, good-looking and very pleasing to the eye. He also tends to sit cross legged when he preaches while looking very serene. When it is said that Marlow had the pose of Buddha it was meant that he looked as though he was preaching what he truly believed and wanted to pass his knowledge on; they could also have been stating that he in fact was sitting in the stance that Buddha is known for sitting in.
