Unreferenced date November 2008 The Lagoon is a short story by Joseph Conrad composed in 1896 and first published in Cornhill Magazine in 1897 . The story is about a man that is referred to as Tuan which is the equivalent of Lord or Sir , a white man travelling through an Indonesian rainforest, who is forced to stop for the night with a distant Malay friend named Arsat. Upon arriving, he finds Arsat distraught, for his lover is dying. Arsat tells the distant and rather silent white man a story of his past. Plot summary The story that Arsat tells tuan Malayan for sir is about sadness and betrayal. Arsat tells of the time when he and his brother kidnapped Diamelen his lover, who was previously a servant of the Rajah s wife . They all fled in a boat at night, and travelled until they were exhausted. They stopped on a bit of land jutting out into the water to rest. Soon however, they spotted a large boat of the Rajah s men coming to find them. Arsat s brother told Diamelen and Arsat to flee to the other side where there was a fisherman s hut. He instructed them to take the fisherman s boat and then stayed back, telling them to wait for him while he dealt with the pursuers. However, Arsat did everything but wait for his brother. As he pushed the boat from shore, he saw his brother running down the path, being chased by the pursuers. Arsat s brother triped and the enemy was upon him. His brother called out to him three times, but Arsat never looked back. He betrayed his brother for a woman that he loved. Towards the end of the story, symbolically, the sun rises, and Diamelen dies. Arsat has nothing now he doesn t have a brother or a wife. He has lost everything. He plans to return to his home village to avenge his brother s death, but dies in the process. The story concludes with Tuan ... Conrad, 1897 .
