Flashbacks In And Then There Were None

Many people could have led to the death of Romeo and Juliet. From the very beginning, there were hasty decisions. Every character could have taken the blame a little bit at some point in the story. One person stood out from the rest. He was the one who only cared about making peace in the families and was the one with all the ideas for Romeo and Juliet that led to their deaths.

Eventually, the book ends by offering some piece of advice to judges in order to prevent similar injustices in the

In Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None there are at least two of the twenty rules from “Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories” by Van Dine used. These two rules being “The culprit must turn out to be a person who has played a more or less prominent part in the story — that is, a person with whom the reader is familiar and in whom he takes an interest” (Van Dine) and “No willful tricks or deceptions may be placed on the reader other than those played legitimately by the criminal on the detective himself” (Van Dine) In And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie One of the many rules from “Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories” by Van Dine shown is “The culprit must turn out to be a person who has played a more or less prominent part in the story. . .” (Van Dine).

At the beginning of the story, the prologue foreshadows their deaths. For example, the prologue says, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life…” Which is stated in document A.

It was also fate two people from each rival sides of the family fell in love with each other.

Abigail Williams, the most despicable character in the whole play. All of her lies have given her the right to be called the most hated character. She caused the death of many people all because of her necessities. From the beginning of the play to the end she was a major problem although a marvelous antagonist.

Finally, Rebecca Nurse also dies for a crime she did not commit when Ann Putnam tries to test her. When the judges try her in court for killing the Putnam babies, the judges sentenced her to death

The last 2 people on the list of victims are Romeo and Juliet. If we go back and retrace our steps, it leads us back to where we began. We all know that Juliet planned to end her tragedy but what she didn’t know was that it would kill her only true love. In this quote, Romeo asks a very deep and substantial question regarding death, and states, “Shall I believe that unsubstantial death is amorous and that the lean abhorred monster keeps thee here in dark to be his paramour?” (5-3).

Each character shares a commonality of being killed due to the ruthless cycle of gun violence. Every character plays a role in swaying Will’s decision of revenge. Certain characters had

After they realize that the assailant is one of them, and not someone hiding on the island, (on page 165) the first character introduced, Justice Lawrence Wargrave, said that “I reiterate my positive belief that of the seven persons assembled in this room one is a dangerous and probably insane criminal… From now on, it is our task to suspect each and every one amongst us.” While they do this, they believe that the murderer is one of the others (which is true), but their guesses are usually incorrect. For example, on page 169-170, Philip Lombard and Vera Claythorne discuss who they think the killer is and both of them are wrong. Philip suspects Judge Lawrence Wargrave and Vera suspects Doctor Armstrong, who Lombard soon begins to distrust as well. The use of irony adds to the suspense because it shows that the characters cannot escape their fate by reasoning out who the killer is, as they are always

With the rest of the 9 people on the remote island, the story progresses through Wargrave murdering someone in a different way throughout the novel until there are “none left.” Because he was a cunning, power-hungry character who was prepared to go to great measures to uphold his own perverted concept of justice, Justice Wargrave. A former judge who had a reputation for handing down severe penalties

A Criminal with Justice in his Name Dennis Rader, also known as the BTK killer, murdered ten people from 1974 to 1991. Justice Wargrave can be labeled as the BTK killer of And Then There Were None: a man with an appetite for bloodlust. Although the motives of the BTK killer are still unknown, we do know Justice’s motive: unpunished criminals obtaining the reprimands they deserve. Justice Wargrave’s infatuation with death began at an early age. In his youth, Wargrave tortured and experimented on innocent animals.

In the movie, “Johnny Got His Gun,” Johnny's flashbacks are from a combination of ether and the battle Johnny made it through. His head is very messed up and injuries are very bad. Because of these nightmares, they bring him flashbacks. It is on account that his injuries are so bad that remembering home and his girl are his ways of coping. His first flashback is of having conversations with his girl.

The people that were the most involved with the murders had to painstakingly stay on the island the longest. Anthony Marston died first because the murder he committed was accidental and unintentional. He died by being poisoned; so his death wasn’t as harsh as some of the others because he was the least involved. Vera Claythorne intentionally murdered Cyril Hamilton by letting him drown. She died last, and her mind was messed with the most out of all of the people on the island.

Towards the end of the book, a quote shows that the man who actually kills the people on the island is choosing to kill them to serve justice whether they are
