Something I noticed is that the first 'I' in the book, as in someone telling the story in the first person, comes from one of Marlow's shipmates in the very beginning, telling us about how Marlow's telling them this story. This character warns the reader to be perceptive of the ebb and flow of Marlow's narrative.
The narrator then shifts to Marlow, as he recounts his experiences. His way of telling the story is through a mix of emotions, events, thoughts, and reactions. Also notice all the paragraphs of his story are in quotations, as if he is speaking to the sailors who are listening to him.
That's all I got, hope it helps :)
