Conrad uses informal language to represent the hierarchy between the narrator and the person issuing an order.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The narrator is a sailor and is taking orders from his superior, who claims that he will go on a mission to rescue a man named Mr. Kurtz.
- The language between the man and the narrator is informal, as the narrator is a sailor and is at a lower level of hierarchy than the man who is issuing the orders.
- For this reason, the language is informal, but it maintains a high level of respect between the two, due to the lack of intimacy and the work environment.
The use of informal language is intended to reinforce this hierarchy and show why the narrator obeys the orders he received.
