1) I believe the climax of the novel occurred when Kurtz is dying in Marlow's arms. This can be interpreted as the climax of the story due to the mere fact of what Kurtz's experiencing as he dawns upon his own demise; it can be his point of understanding - his own turning point as well as the turning point of the novel.
2) Everyone offered their specific opinions regarding the novel, as well as its climax. Various viewpoints came up during the discussion as people shared their very own experience concerning the novel.
3) This book was an extremely difficult read. Joseph Conrad used an ambiguous vocabulary that seemed somewhat confusing. However, this book actually tries to delve into the basis of human nature, the ideas of original sin, etc. It's interesting how the characters are affected by the adversity of the jungle environment in the novel. Such details illustrate what might happen to people when they're faced with an adverse situation.
