The Whited Sepulchre finally helps!

Okay. So finally I've read something pertaining to this crazy book we are reading that helps me understand it better. Its the article called "Conrad's Whited Sepulchre". For some reason, I am super struggling with this book and what's going on in general with it. However, when I read the article, it clarified even simple details. It made clear some of the symbolism and motifs, such as the whited sepulchre and how it symbolizes the deceitfulness of the Company and European imperialism using specific examples. It also clarified how Marlow views the world and how he expects a person to live their life by living through Truth and not deception. I'm hoping the next article we read opens my eyes to other aspects of the novel as well.
