Marlow finds Kurtz to be a peculiar person because no only is he repulsed by his pure brutality, but he is also galvanized at its existence. Kurtz has show the capacity for man to adapt to new environments. He out of most people has figured the way to survive in Africa, which is why Marlow admires him. Although the means of his survival out quite outlandish, and indeed brutal and insensitive to humanity, Marlow cannot help but be attracted to the contrasting character that makes Krutz the epitome of man's capacity to express primitive, instinctual behavior to survive.
