...interpretation here. For one thing, he is inconsistent; he speaks at one point of the "dreaming of Lord Jim"--when someone else might say "composing" and then goes on to detail the elaborate pains Conrad took over each phrase to insure total control of the material and of the reader. Guerard's combination of reverie and manipulation is difficult to accept; to be sure, Marlowe sometimes mentions--and conveys--the dreamlike quality of his tales, but we must attribute the dream to him, not to Conrad, for Guerard himself has taught us not to confuse the two of them.
