Summary Of And Then There Were None

Characters: Although there were a reasonable amount of characters in the story, there were only two that were important and consistent throughout the book. The others didn’t have much of an impact into the story.

Rainsford felt proud and terrible for what he had done. He had killed a man although Zerof and Ivan where not entirely innocent. He struggled to decide what he was, a hero or a murderer. He felt that maybe he only needed someone to come with him on his journey to get off the island and to keep himself from going insane. Rainsford went to go and free the prisoners or as Zerof said pupils of ship trap island. Only two where currently trapped on the island the rest must have left or died. Gregory and Wilhelm were looking surprisingly happy perhaps they did not know the fate that they were going to face if they stay. Rainsford said, “ It’s not safe here and you no longer need to stay here and be forced to train for another man’s amusement and I suggest you come with me or you can stay and eventually starve so I give you a choice come with me or stay and die.” Greg decided to come along, wilhelm thought Rainsford was lying and crazy so he stayed and trained soon Wilhelm will realize no one was going to bring him food and he will starve he locked the door so he could not get out and get food he made the wrong choice.

The book “That was Then, This is now” is written by S.E. Hilton. This book, in my opinion, is a very attention-grabbing, down-to-earth, and relatable book to many teenagers even though it does not take place in our day.

In our modern society, it is common knowledge that the human psyche always gravitates towards valuing itself over others, especially in exigent situations. In Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, And Then There Were None, a copious number of the ten original guests on Soldier Island commit actions that prove deleterious to the others in order to increase their contingency of survival.

After reading, then watching the movie “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie. There were a few noticeable changes in the movie compared to how it was written. Some are very big they change out how the whole story happens and others are just minor details. In the end was a very big change, but while there were changes a lot of it stuck to how it was written.

Judge wargrave had no apparent motive, but decided to kill men an women who had gotten away with murder. Although he did not know most of the victims he still a a drive to kill them. Stated towards the end of the book, The Judge always wanted to kill: ”I have a definite sadistic delight in seeing or causing death. I remember wasps- or other garden pests. From a young age I knew very strongly the lust to kill”. Since Judge wargrave was suffering from a terminal illness he decide to take away the lives of others and commit a crime like he had always wanted: “I must, I must, I must commit murder. He set up the operation with Isaac morris and executed it perfectly. This does explain why he killed those people, but not why he should have do it. This was not a job for Mr. Wargrave, instead he should of seen a psychologist. This was the undebatable job of a person working within the legal system. Although most of the victims deserve the death penalty, or a life sentence in jail, it caused more trouble killing the victims instead of turning them into custody. Even if the people could not be turned into custody Wargrave, knowing row smart man he is, should not have attacked them. Even though the was mentally disturbed, he should have not have inflicted his

Figuring out events leading up to a murder is quite tricky. It is even more complicated to determine the prime suspect. But a murderer, no matter who they are, almost always carries a motive or purpose for their wrong-doings. In the novel, “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie, a mystery is presented after ten people are invited to an island and one dies abruptly in front of them. One by one guests drop dead, and the remaining victims uncover that the person responsible is one of them. Based off the villain characteristics that Justice Wargrave possesses, one can come to the conclusion that he is the murderer.

Wargraves job as a justice is suspicious due to clues in And Then There None. In the novel we are given hints and nudges to the judicial system through a voice playing on a gramophone, and some suspiciously organized discussions. During dinner the occupants of Soldier island are interrupted by a mysterious voice that accuses every character of a murder. This voice ends with “Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defence?” (43) This is a clear indication that Wargrave is the murderer as he is the only one with experience sentencing prisoners to receive justice. Wargrave can be seen heading discussions eerily

     And Then There Were None, written by Agatha Christie is a thrilling tale of ten people invited to a remote island by an unseen figure who never appears throughout the story. All those who were invited have pasts that they are hiding and many things to fear. The guests are cast upon Indian Island, an island off the coast of England around the 1930s. Strangers to each other, slowly they reveal their shameful pasts. Coincidently, the name which they were invited by, Mr. U. N. Owen sounds similar to that of the word “unknown.” Among the characters is a Mr. Wargrave, a recently retired judge, who is intelligent, cold, and commanding. He takes leadership on the island after the killings begin. Wargrave is the first

Continuing with death of Mrs. Rogers the guests are shocked, due to there being two

Judge Wargrave believes there is an order of the severity or degree of the crimes the people on indian island, that actually might be the case. When he says there is a order of severity he is very true, if you look we can see that Mrs. Rogers might have made an accidental mistake that lead to the death of her employer. Dr. Armstrong on the other had operated on a patient while drunk and that he could have prevented. As Judge Wargrave killed them off one by one the severity of the person crime was worse and worse like he was doing it in order. You als0 have to look at how he killed them. Wargrave felt like he was playing a sick twisted game as he used the nursery rhyme and statues to count his kills. By doing this he frightened his guest and

Before reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, I read many reviews on the novel as I do before I read any author’s work. Some of the reviews were good, and of course, some were not too good. In order for me to form my own opinion on the novel, I decided to read it myself. The novel was about ten people chosen to visit an island for different reasons. They were invited by an unknown person under a pretense title of U.N. Owen. What the ten guest did not know was that they were all about to experience severe life changing events. I was thrilled to start reading because it sounded interesting to me. As soon as I began reading, my opinion automatically leaned towards the negative side. The exposition was boring and it failed to grab my full attention. I am certainly not a fan of books that start off this way. It is an extremely tedious thing to read for me. As I continued to read on however, my

The 2nd one responsible for her death was the ferryboat because he refused to let the woman on the boat for free when he say that she has no money with her.

In the epilogue of And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie ends her murder mystery with a letter from Justice Wargrave. In this letter, Wargrave is revealed as the killer and explains the reasoning behind his actions. To begin, Justice Wargrave writes about his “strong sense of justice,” which lead him to become a judge (Christie 286). Despite his strong sense of justice, Wargrave was influenced by sadistic delight. With the two aspects interwoven, “the right shall prevail” and to “act instead of judge”,

Agatha Christie, author of And Then There Were None used characterization and internal and external conflicts to portray the theme that when a person has done wrong, there is no way to escape punishment. Christie creatively developed these elements in And Then There Were None to teach her readers this lesson. Christie’s creativity and success as a murder mystery writer is why she is still considered the “Queen of Mystery”.
