Quote #4
"'What is it you're running away from?' I ask. 'Who has been getting at you? What scared you? You haven't as much sense as a rat; they don't clear out from a good ship.'" (18.9)
Egstrom, of Blake and Egstrom, really lets Jim have it after Jim decides to hightail it out of town again. The emphasis here seems to be on Jim's irrationality. Jim thinks he's just trying to survive, but Egstrom points out that he is actually threatening his survival because he doesn't know a good thing when he has it.
Quote #5
"To fling away your daily bread so as to get your hands free for a grapple with a ghost may be an act of prosaic heroism. Men had done it before (though we who have lived know full well that it is not the haunted soul but the hungry body that makes an outcast) [...]" (19.1)
There are physical outcasts, such as the poor and the hungry. But there are also spiritual and psychological outcasts, people who are "haunted." Jim seems to straddle both definitions.
Quote #6
"I think it is the lonely, without a fireside or an affection they may call their own, those who return not to a dwelling but to the land itself, to meet its disembodied, eternal, and unchangeable spirit – it is those who understand best its severity, its saving power, the grace of its secular right to our fidelity, to our obedience." (21.6)
Oh, so that's what home is. A "disembodied, eternal, and unchangeable spirit." Marlow's description of England here makes us worry for Jim, who doesn't seem to be showing his homeland, England, any "fidelity" or "obedience."
