This chapter discusses Conrad's Lord Jim, which is read as a competitive theater of manhood in which Jim and Marlow keep staging their masculinity to each other. In this novel, masculinity arises out of a relationship between a male character's pose and the cultural codes he and his evaluating audience negotiate together.
