Part of these misleading appearances concern gender differences, men and women often appearing to exchange their stereotypical attributes, as underlined by Jeremy Hawthorn who sees “The Brute” as: “a representative example of Conrad’s fondness for challenging the conventional attributes of masculinity and femininity” (Hawthorn 2008: 112).
