The African Mistress

what if the African Mistress in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" had a voice ? what if she had a name? and what if we could hear what she was thinking when she briefly appeared in the novel? here is a short suggested monologue, written in stream of consciousness technique, where ( The African Mistress) is converted from a marginalised literary object, into a named ( zuri) human being, with natural scattered thoughts.
