| Lord Jim | comment |
Lord Jim is a 1900 novel written by Joseph Conrad. It is the story of an idealistic Englishman who believes that his cowardice while serving as an officer on the pilgrim ship Patna has ruined his life. He later finds his way to an obscure island outpost of Patusan, where he is able to rebuild his life and reclaim some honor. However, the ghosts of Jim's past come back to haunt him when the greedy adventurer Gentleman Brown arrives, and plots to steal from Jim's profitable little paradise...The novel was adapted for the screen twice, once as a 1925 film directed by Victor Fleming and starring Percy Marmont, and again as a 1965 film directed by Richard Brooks and starring Peter O'Toole and James Mason. | |

Death by Adaptation: In Conrad's novel, Gentleman Brown finds a safe passage out of Patusan after robbing and murdering the natives, and tells his story to Marlow several years later. In the film, he's killed by a blast from a cannon during a shoot-out with Jim and the defending natives. | |

Villainous Valour: Any other villain in a Hollywood movie would have tried to escape when they had the chance. Not the General. When the heroes launched their second attack, despite considering escaping beforehand, the General stayed and fought, eventually going out in a blaze of glory while wounded and trying to put out a fuse. | |

Downer Ending: Gentleman Brown pillages the Patusan villagers despite being allowed safe passage, killing Jim's friend (and son of the local tribal chief) Waris. Filled with guilt over the incident, Jim allows Chief Doramin to kill him. Perhaps worse than his death is the fact that Jim never truly found the sense of redemption that he sought. | |

| Lord Jim / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: What drives Jim during the second half of the novel. It's why he works to free the local Bugis community from their corrupt overlords and gains their respect hence the nickname Lord Jim. Unfortunately, that need to atone becomes a problem when Gentleman Brown shows up and sees how he can exploit Jim's one flaw... | |

Jumped at the Call: Viciously deconstructed. Jim is described as a young man looking for the opportunity to be a hero. The novel details how that desire destroys him both when he fails during the Patna disaster and when he succeeds on Patusan. | |

Switching P.O.V.: The novel starts off as a standard Third Person Narration, but switches to Marlow's narration POV when he shows up in Jim's life. It works in this novel because it keeps Jim as an cipher of a protagonist throughout the remainder of the story. | |
