He then remembers the rhyme of the ten little soldier boys, from his childhood, which he loved because all the deaths were inevitable. Wargrave then starts to collect victims. He decides that Morris would be his tenth victim, because he sold drugs to his friends daughter, which committed suicide. Before heading to Soldier Island, Wargrave gives Morris a pill to take at night, which he says helps with indigestion. He decided to kill those without guilt first. He killed Marston and Mrs. Roger first because Marston was born without a sense of moral responsibility and Mrs. Rogers was probably told to kill the old lady because of her husband. Next he murdered General Macarthur by sneaking up behind him. He then needed an ally so he chose Armstrong because he was kind of a gullible person. Armstrong agrees because he is told that they were trapping the murder. Then he killed Mr, Rogers, while he is out chopping sticks. In the same day he killed Emily Brent by injecting her with cyanide. Armstrong then helped him fake his death, they made Vera first scream, which distracted everyone, then Wargrave dressed up and pretend that was shot, then when Armstrong inspects Wargrave he lies and says that he is

Towards the beginning of the book it says “At the time not a soul in sleeping in Holcomb heard them-four shotgun blasts that, all told, ended six human lives.”(pg 5) All four of the Clutters died that night but it does not tell us who the other two were that passed.

However, man has proven himself to be guided by his own internal conflicts, which lead him to make certain decisions that can be characterized as good or evil.

The readers learn that Wargrave is insane in the Manuscript at the end of the book, where Wargrave writes “I have a definite sadistic delight in seeing or causing death”(A Manuscript - Chapter 18).

At first he tries to maintain his innocence. He does this by spending every spare moment wandering mentally along beaches with a girl back home, Martha. He read all of her letters, wondered about her frequently, and even kept a stone from the beach in his mouth to savor the taste of the ocean and imagine he was with her. However, as established by the following quote, "On the morning after Ted Lavender died, First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross crouched at the bottom of his foxhole and burned Martha’s letters,” this desperate sliver of innocence was lost when he forced himself to forget her, thus allowing himself to be entirely immersed in the reality of war. The loss of life caused by the war greatly corresponds to the underlying theme of the destruction of innocence.

’p.176 He continues to tell us about Edwards’ death, I think such a significant event in the story would not get forgotten but instead I feel it may have been pre-planned to end his narrative with this description, almost like a peak at the end. This goes against the idea that his mind is just naturally wandering through these recollections and that maybe there is some kind of loose structure into the order he was going to tell them. And perhaps which events he was going to reveal and which ones he would rather not. Once again it acts as evidence to the narrator being unreliable and how everything he said might not be true as there may in fact be important details missing or
Vera describes how he was in a judge's outfit sitting with candles surrounding him. Whoever the killer was they especially did not like Wargrave. None of the other murders were set up this elaborately. With Wargrave gone we can only imagine what happened and who was the murder!
