In Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," most characters are referred to by their occupation, denying their true identities and titles. Because of this, the readers can imply Conrad's belief in the importance of identity and how it is mostly decided by your occupation. By calling someone a Farmer or a Lawyer, one can infer their social standings based on their jobs, one of the many characteristics that Conrad strongly tries to get across to the readers by just stating their occupations.
