I've often wondered to what extent a more general influence of /Lord
Jim/ can be traced in /Jacob's Room/ - all the stuff about Marlow never
seeing Jim clearly, that he is observed through a mist, and so on. In
like manner the reader sees Jacob doing and saying all sorts of things,
but ends up with a sense of his unknowability. In both cases, intimacy
is denied.
What do you think?
