In "The Lagoon" by Joseph Conrad, the white man learns that Diamelen, Arsat's beloved, is gravely ill, suffering from a fever that has rendered her nearly lifeless. Her condition symbolizes the tragic consequences of colonialism and the emotional turmoil faced by Arsat, who grApples with guilt and despair over his inability to save her. This realization highlights the deep bond between Arsat and Diamelen, as well as the broader themes of loss and the impacts of colonial encounters.
