Mr. Wargrave's Actions In And Then There Were None By Agatha Christie

Level 1: Literal In the Wonders of the World by Cotton Mather, Martha Carrier is accused of being a witch and was “...indicted for the bewitching certain persons, according to the form usual in such cases, pleading not guilty to her indictment”. During her trial, many people were called as witnesses to testify against her. Even her children went as far to say that “they were witches themselves, but that their mother had made them so”. Though her children’s statement was not used against her, there was already enough sufficient statements that were claimed to be true “evidence” against the case of Martha Carrier.

Cotton Mather accounts the witch trial of Martha Carrier through reporting the accusations and crimes prosecuted against her. This trial was unjust because prosecution occurred to explain unnatural events by using unfounded, spectral evidence. All unnatural events affected the witnesses negatively in matters of health or occupation. This led the people of Salem to create a scapegoat for their misfortune and other ‘witches’ to persecute those near to them in the fear of death.

Gentlemen, in the 30 years that I have been practising law in Maycomb, I have never seen a case so complicated, and so simple at the same time. Complicated because of the circumstances; a white woman’s word versus a black man’s word. Simple because of the facts; clearly no one in this courtroom is guilty besides the defendant himself, Tom Robinson. There is undoubtedly more evidence confirming the fact that Tom Robinson is guilty rather than innocent.

“The Most Dangerous Game” is a story that gets you thinking whether or not to kill or be killed, or as Rainsford says, “The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees.” That's not all though,“The Most Dangerous Game” has another question that gets you thinking, is Sanger Rainsford guilty, or not guilty? But in the end all evidence points that he is guilty of murder. For he wanted to get off the island, his view on things changed, and in the end when Rainsford was sleeping in the bed. One of the first pieces of evidence that makes Rainsford guilty was that he wanted to get off the island.

In the short story, The Most Dangerous Game, Richard Connell uses the characterization of Rainsford to show change in a character’s perspective. For example, in the beginning of the story, Rainsford makes a claim that animals have no feelings, showing that he is inconsiderate of any feelings by his own and does not care for the lives of animals. In the text, Rainsford says, “Who cares how a jaguar feels?” (3) This quote shows that in the exposition, Rainsford does not care for the feelings of animals, and cares more about hunting and killing them. Therefore, the point is proven true because his words at the beginning of the story show that he is indifferent to animals’ feelings.

Throughout this book, Chillingworth changes in many different ways, physically and emotionally. Driven by his lust for revenge, Roger Chillingworth uses his personal background to hide his intent of torturing his wife’s hidden lover, and changes his being throughout the book.

Truth The main characters in The Things They Carried are soldiers, watching people die every day. To lessen their fear of death, they do not pay much respect to the dead and treat the corpses as if they are live people; they demonstrate that the soul lives on even when the body does not. One of the ways the soul lives is through stories. In Tim O’Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried, the final chapter, “The Lives of the Dead”, is essential because it is a perfect conclusion.

The main character, Lieutenant Cross struggles between his love and his responsibilities. Ted Lavender dies in the story and the soldiers are all shocked; it causes Lt. Cross to give up his love and become a man. In the story, Tim O’Brian uses a total omniscience point of view, which reveals Lieutenant Jimmy Cross as distracted, sentimental, and caring. This causes the reader to feel admiration for him leading the country, but also empathy because he is struggling physically and emotionally. Tim O’Brian conveys the theme that war weighs heavily on a soldier.

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!

All characters are accused and redeemed of guilt but the murderer is still elusive. Much to the shock of the readers of detective fiction of that time, it turns out that the murderer is the Watson figure, and the narrator, the one person on whose first-person account the reader 's’ entire access to all events depends -- Dr. Sheppard. In a novel that reiterates the significance of confession to unearth the truth, Christie throws the veracity of all confessions contained therein in danger by depicting how easily the readers can be taken in by
