Such as the truth behind the accusations of both General Macarthur and Dr. Armstrong. They both lied about being innocent when they were proved guilty by flashbacks and the point of view.

In the book And Then There Were None one of the characters Dr. Armstrong has a flashback of when he was doing an operation on a patient and it ended with the patient dying and in that moment you can say that Armstrong felt very guilty and feels like he was the reason why the patient died. Armstrong thought to himself “How beautifully sharp it was …  Easy to do a murder with a knife like that. And of course he was doing the murder” (Christie 90). This quote shows that it was a flashback and it was no accident, it was a murder. A murder that he feels like he was guilty of and he committed. And after this scene you can feel the guilt that he feels.

The premise of the mystery  book “And Then There Were None “,by Agatha Christie takes place on an island called Soldier Island. The only way of getting on and off the island is by boat. Not to mention no one on  the main land knows of the mysterious and mourdious events going on, on the island. Therefore there's no way of getting help if needed. Granted that, the theme the story portrayed is the power of guilt.

A symbol is something that represents something else, a symbol has a deeper meaning to it than the actual picture. It could be as simple as a dove, which represents peace, or it could be a little more complicated, like the cross, which has thousands of years of history behind it. Symbols appear everywhere, and that's proven true in “And Then There Were None”.

# data[].attributes.body
Besides symbolisms, Agatha Christie uses the literary craft of flashbacks throughout the book to help move the story forward. Throughout the book, Dr.Armstrong struggles with the death of his patient that died while he was operating while drunk. He constantly thinking about the loss of his patient because of how guilty he feels. Agatha uses flashbacks throughout the story to show his true emotions about the situation.  “Drunk that’s what it was-drunk…..And I operated”(christie 71). This quote shows how Armstrong feels guilty about the death of his patient. He feels so guilty after the incident happened that he stopped drinking.

In the mystery novel “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie used symbolism and foreshadowing to drive the plot of the story. Throughout the story, the idea of symbolism and foreshadowing is important because it really makes the reader dive deeper into the story, and helps identify and express their feelings about the story. The connections and feeling that are provoked by a good book are what makes the reader want to keep reading.  What feelings have you felt while reading your favorite book?  How did you feel connected to the story?  Did it make you want to come back for more?

# data[].attributes.body
The way Agatha Christie wrote this book was very well. She picked the correct things to be symbolic and picked the perfect story line for the flashbacks for each character. As you can see the author, Agatha Christie, added very important details in the book that you would never guess to be very important to the story line.

Throughout the book many mystery murders happened. From poison, to sleeping in, to injections, getting hit and so much more. Day by day, more people were found dead. Agatha Christie greatly shows symbolism and flashbacks throughout this adventure.

The poem symbolizes the method of death required for each character. The ten little soldier boys poem placed in each guest room is one of the first features of the house that all of the guests notice when they first arrive at Soldier island. This poem is greatly known throughout all ten guests visiting the island. This poem doesn’t spark a light in anyone’s head because it’s not something that would be important, well at least that’s what they thought. Vera Claythorne is the first guest to speak up about the ten little soldier boys poem being framed in her room.

# data[].attributes.body
The pattern of disappearing soldier boys continued as time went on. In conclusion, some things have more meaning than you think. A simple poem could represent the way you die, and that is why symbols can mean more than someone may think.

# data[].attributes.body
In And Then There Were None, the author Agatha Christie used many different craft moves. Another one of her many frequently used craft moves is symbolism. There are a lot of different symbols throughout the book, but the one that stood out the most were the china soldier figures. The china soldier figures symbolize two things. At the beginning of the book, the china figures symbolize the soldier boys in the poem, “The Ten Little Soldier Boys'' which is hung up in everyone’s room in the house. The figures continue to symbolize the soldiers in the poem until the first couple of deaths at the house of Anthony Marston and Mrs. Rogers. After they both died, the guests realize that they themselves symbolize the china figures as the boys in the poem. When they first arrived at the island, there were ten china figures in the center of the dining room table. In chapter six, Mr. Rogers was in the dining room when he realized that now there were only eight of the figures instead of ten on the dining table. Mr. Rogers then came to realize that every time someone in the house dies, a figure disappears.  “But now, sir, when I came to clear away. See for yourself if you don’t believe me. There’s only eight, sir! Only eight! It doesn’t make sense, does it? Only eight…” (Christie 106). This quote shows that the soldier boys symbolize the deaths of the guests who are at the house. It tells the reader that the figures are not a symbol of just the poem but that they are also a symbol of the guests who are at the house.

# data[].attributes.body
One example of guilt coming back and costing you is when the gramophone is speaking about everyone’s crimes that they have committed. When the gramophone finished speaking, all of the guests have panicked and denied the accusation of the murder that they are reminded of. Dr. Armstrong, one of the guests pretends that he didn’t commit a murder. But in his mind, he knew he committed this murder. He says, "Drunk-that's what it was-drunk...And I operated! Nerves to pieces-hands shaking. I killed her all right." (Christie 71). Dr. Armstrong clearly knows that he committed this crime, but he has been trying to forget it. This relates to the theme because the topic came back and had cost him his life as he ended up dying later on.

# data[].attributes.body
The second craft Agatha Christie uses in the novel “And Then There Were None” is foreshadowing. As General Macarthur is sitting on the island, he says to some of the other guests - "There is so little time - so little time. I really must insist that no one disturbs me.”(Christie Chapter 8, Section II)  and  "None of us are going to leave the island. That's the plan. You know it, of course, perfectly. What, perhaps, you can't understand is the relief!"(Christie Chapter 8, Section II). The General is telling the others a few things -  they don’t have much time and none of them will be leaving the island. Although the others, like Blore and Lombard thought of him as insane and Vera simply couldn't imagine herself dying, he was correct. As a matter of fact, none of the guests had much time left. They were all killed days later. They also never left the island. Since all of their S.O.S messages were ignored and there were no boats around, they stayed on the island, watching each other slowly lose both their sanity and lives.

The author shows how negative actions can result in negative things happening in the future. I think this is shown in the book when Anthony Marston dies and when Vera dies. The characters don't die for no reason, they do it because their negative actions caught up to them.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book and then there were none The soldier figurines represent each member in the house and that when one soldier goes missing someone dies. These statues are the main symbol in this book. I think that because in the start of the book they thought that the soldiers were just decorations but then they soon started to realize that they meant something. Throughout the book the characters learn that there is something weird going on with them.

# data[].attributes.body
the author uses two craft moves being flashback and symbolism to help illustrate the structure and mystery of the story. The poem relates to the figures symbolizing the guests on the island. As well as Vera's constant flashbacks of Cyril and Hugo and her feeling of guilt. Flashbacks and symbolism connect to our everyday lives as we constantly think back to past events and have an object or anything that represents something in our lives. In addition, these two craft moves are also used in books or stories to drive the plot.

An important lesson from the story is what others may want you to believe may not always be true. Throughout the book some characters are haunted by guilt while others are concerned about truth. There are many parts of the book where this is shown, “One little soldier boy left all alone. What was the last line again? Something about being married--or was it something else? She had come now to the door of her room. Hugo was waiting for her inside--she was quite sure of it.” (Christie 268). Vera Claythorne claimed the last part of the poem was something about being married but here is the real last line of the poem, “One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself. And then there were none.” This shows she is starting to lose her mind. She had witnessed nine other deaths in the last few days and supposedly she was the last person on the island.

“A rope with a noose all ready? And a chair to stand upon - a chair that could be kicked away.. That was what Hugo wanted.” (Christie 268) From this quote, Vera’s guilt because of what she did Hugo ultimately takes control of her. She feels horrible for being the reason Cyril drowned because she wanted to be with Hugo so badly. Her thoughts telling her that Hugo wanted this is almost like his way of getting revenge for the pain she caused him.  This situation, in the end, leads up to her downfall, which was her suicide in this case.

Then, she felt the words running through her head, "You can go to the rock Cyril..."(Christie 269) She adjusted the noose around her neck, and with just a kick of a chair there were none.

Vera goes through a lot of stuff througout the book and with her at the end following the poem and hanging herself ends it all. The nervousness, lies, and most of all the guilt.

Throughout the story, Vera claythorne has flashbacks or memories of moments with Cyril before she let him drown. It tells the reader tat Vera feels guilty and disbelief for killing Cyril

Dr. Armstrong had a dream about what happened to his patient and what happened that night. He feels how sweaty he was and how deezey he was. He was thinking he was sick but he was actually drunk. After his surgery he went to see the patient's sister to tell her that the sister he was working on died and he was freaking out because of what happened. He knew that he should’ve said that he couldn’t do it or he should’ve never gotten drunk. Because if he did that the patient would still be alive. After that he stopped drinking. He was regretting that so much and now he doesn’t drink anymore because if he ever got drunk again and then went into surgery he would go to jail and he would get his medical license taken away. But he woke up sweating and freaking out because he was having this dream over and over again. “Dr. Armstrong was dreaming . . . It was very hot in the operating room. . . . Surely they’d got the temperature too high? The sweat was rolling down his face. His hands were clammy. Difficult to hold the scalpel firmly. . . How beautifully sharp it was. . . .  Easy to do a murder with a knife like that. And of course he was doing a murder. . . . The woman's body looked different. It had been a large unwieldy body. This was a spare meagre body. And the face was hidden. Who was it that he had to kill? He couldn’t remember. But he must know! Should he ask Sister? Sister was watching him. No, he couldn’t ask her. She was suspicious, he could see that. But who was it on the operating table? They shouldn’t have covered up the face like that. . . . If he could only see the face. . . . Ah ! that was better. A young probationer was pulling off the handkerchief. Emily Brent, of course. It was Emily Brent that he had to kill. How malicious her eyes were! Her lips were moving. What was she saying? “In the midst of life we are in death . . . .” She was laughing now. No, nurse, don’t put the handkerchief back. I’ve got to see. I’ve got to give the anaesthetic. Where’s the ether? I must have brought the ether with me. What have you done with the ether, SIster? Châteauneuf-du-Pape? Yes, that will do quite as well. Take the handkerchief away, nurse. Of course! I knew it all the time! It’s Anothony Marston ! His face is purple and convulsed. But he’s not dead--- he’s laughing. I tell you he’s laughing ! He’s shaking the operating table. Look out, man, look out. Nurse, Steady it--- steady it---”. (Christie 91-92). Dr. Armstrong kept seeing over people that are on the island with him as the person on the table. He was saying how he was told to murder someone. But when he really was in the operating room doing surgery on that woman he was drunk so after the surgery and she died he never drank any alcohol again.

Emily Brent is filled with guilt and regret from what she did in her past. Emily Brent will always have this guilt lurking by her side whether she wants to forget it or not, this guilt will always find a way to re-appear in her life like in this scene. Beatrice is not the killer, it's Emily's guilt taking control over her, making her think Beatrice is the killer. Overall, the power of guilt takes a big part in this scene and the story.

Back on the island Vera is very stressed in her bed room and she is starting to think about Cyril. Vera is thinking about how Cyril was a weak kid but it could have been like a filthy fifty shot  of surviving. “ Vera thought to herself ‘Miss Claythorne,why can’t I swim to the rock?’ stats Cyril ‘its  too far Cyril’ states Vera ‘ But miss Caythorne.’ stats Cyril ”(Christie  88). At this point she is doing the right thing and is telling Cyril he can’t go. It is not safe for him. The more she thinks about being rich with Hugo the more she wants to let Cyril swim to the rock.

Vera understands all of them at least know of their past misdeeds to some extent. They understand their pasts for some reason are coming back and they are all being hunted down for their past. The  poem shows a basic understanding of how they might die but not too in depth therefore they fear and try to prepare. Some of the guests feel deep guilt while others don't. In Vera's case the guilt of her killing a child only for her boyfriend to leave her and all these deaths causes her to hang herself.

One way that the power of guilt affects Vera is the death of Cyril. Vera told Cyril He could swim to the Rock but he knew he wasn't able to swim. The reason she did this was because she wanted to marry Hugo and Cyril was in her way. She thought that she would forget but it haunts her throughout the book.

In the book Vera continuously thinks of Cyril and Hugo, especially Hugo. In the beginning of the story where we learn about what happens she wasn't as guilty as she was toward the end of the book. Vera always thought of Hugo because she loved him a lot, but the thing that was holding Hugo away was him not having money and only being able to earn money through the family bloodline. One scene that stuck out was when she was sitting on her bed thinking about Hugo.

Agatha Christie’s mystery book “And Then There Were None'' is taking place on a soldier island, a very secluded island that you can only get there by plane or boat. In the book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, the author portrays all ten characters going through the stages of their guilt. The ten characters on the island were all guilty of something but never was affected by the law. That's why they get brought to the island because they did something that gives some guilt and not others. Two  of the ten characters had a more brief type of guilt which are the characters Vera and Anthony Mcarthur.   Vera is one of the main characters that has one of the most guiltful characters. It will show just how guilty they are, just by saying the things that they do portrays it all.  Guilt is a frequent emotion that most of society feels. For some, it can make people go crazy and control their emotions. Alternatively, it is the way we act upon our guilt; which displays our true intentions

Another event of the guilt taking over from her actions and leading to consequences is when she took the revolver and shot Cyril. She felt so insanely guilty about the whole situation which led her to kill herself. She hung herself which was the consequences to her actions throughout the story. “the sun was setting, the sky to the west was streaked with red and orange. It was beautiful and peaceful…. Vera thought…. “The whole thing might be a dream….” How tired she was—terribly tired. Her limbs ached; her eyelids were dropping. Not to be afraid anymore… To sleep. Sleep… sleep… sleep… To sleep safely since she was alone on the island. One little soldier boy left all alone.” (Christie 81)  this quote was before guilt kicked in, the guilt begins to take over during her state of drowsiness, she begins to believe she had out smarted everyone, until a sense of guilt takes over.

Throughout the novel, Vera's guilty memories of her crime plague her. She often thinks of Hugo and feels as if he is watching her. In some ways, Vera is one of the most intelligent and capable characters in the novel, which explains why she is one of the last people left standing. She takes out the resourceful Philip Lombard, who thinks she is a murderer, by stealing his gun and then summoning up the courage to shoot him when he leaps at her. Despite her strength, however, Vera is not emotionally stable.

Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. A flashback is a scene in a movie, novel, etc., set in a time earlier than the main story. Symbolism helps me understand what the objects mean in the book for instance with the soldier china figurines, they symbolise the 10 characters in the book. And the flashbacks helped me understand why the characters were sent to the island to be killed for what they did.

Many literature crafts were added into this book by the author Agatha Christie. She used symbolism and flashbacks as one of the big parts in the book. The symbolism keeps the reader guessing what is going to happen next, because we think that they are clues. The flashbacks give us clues about the characters' personalities that we need in order to keep us interested in the book and keep us guessing as we learn more and more.

to an island called Soldier Island. none of them knew who invited them but apparently  they all got invited for a reason, and that reason was murder. All the guest were  guilty of murder and had gotten away with it. But now they were tricked to come to the island so they can be judged and punished for these crimes, The mysterious  person who invited the guest to the island wanted them to pay for the murders they were guilty of, This is because in the court of law they did not have the evidence to prove  that they committed these murders of other people so they got away with it. The author uses many different examples of both Symbolisms and Flashbacks throughout the entire story. This is shown in  the way the lives of the guests were leading to this point and the reasons they are thought to have committed these crimes

The amazing and intriguing mystery novel, And Then There Were None, written by Agatha Christie, takes place on a mysterious island called soldier island. Throughout the story, two characters, Vera Claythorne and General Macarthur had suffered the powerful feeling of guilt which had begun with being crazy and depressed that had ended in death. This island was a mysterious island that nobody knew the truth to. There were rumors about this island, but the people couldn’t find out the truth because the island can only be arrived at by boat. For that reason, people around the world didn’t know about the mysterious, crazy, and psychotic events happing on soldier island. This had changed after all of them became victims of the mysterious killer, Justice Wargrave. A really important lesson the story proposes is that guilt isn’t just another emotion like happy, mad, or sad, guilt can turn a person’s emotions around into them becoming depressed, sad, suicidall, and other traits that head towards their demise.

One part in the books where it shows flashbacks is on page 87 when Vera thinks that Hugo is with her.  This shows flashbacks because even after Hugo died Vera thinks that he is still with her and starts to have flashbacks about Hugo.  One quote that shows Vera having flashbacks that Hugo is with her is when Vera said “Hugo Hugo why do i feel you are so near me tonight?... somewhere quite close Where is he really?  I don't know. I never shall know.  He just went away-right away-out of my life” (Christe 87).

In the beginning of the book all the people who were chosen though that these ten figures were like a decoration. Throughout the book they start to realize that whenever one of the ten people die each figure disappears. Lombard said “ Yes, the china little figures. They were certainly ten last night at dinner. And now there are eight you say, you say?”(Christie 117)  This quote shows that they all knew what the figures represented after they realized that there were only eight after they had checked, and after one of them died.

One flashbook that happened in the book was when there was a voice that came out of nowhere. The voice started everyone because they didn't know where the voice came from. “ Edward George Armstrobg, that you did upon the 14th day of March 1925, cause death of Lousia Mary Clees.”(Christie 46). This quote shows that each one of the ten people picked to go to the island had something to do with someone's death. Each character was involved in some sort of death or murder. They were sent or chosen to go to the island because each one of them had something to do with death.

The guilt that they felt eventually led to their downfalls because at the time of events they were only thinking of themselves.

Vera believed that Hugo was watching her to “see what she had to do” and this proves how her guilt was based around what she did to Cyril that ended up making her lose Hugo in the end anyway.

Agatha Christie’s Mystery Novel “And Then There Were None” Relates to the Twilight Zone episode “Deaths Head Revisited” by Rod Serling. They relate because both share a common theme which is the power of guilt. Agatha Christie uses flashbacks to show the power of guilt on Armstrong while Rod Serling uses point of view to show the power of guilt on Mr schmidt. In “And Then There Were None” and “Death's Head Revisited'', you can clearly see both authors displaying the power of guilt.

In the novel “And then there were none” by agatha christie, The theme of guilt is demonstrated in multiple scenes. Agatha Christie uses the literary device of flashbacks in multiple scenes and uses it to show the guilt the characters are feeling. One particular scene that stood out to me was When Dr.Armstrong had a flashback to him killing his patient. This scene stood out to me because Armstrong was flashing back to the time he operated on someone while being drunk. The person who he operated on died. “Drunk, that's what it was-drunk… and I operated(Christie 72). This quote clearly demonstrates that Dr Armstrong feels guilty for what he did and he knows that if he had been sober the patient would have lived. Armstrong constantly thinks about the patient and he even had a dream about it. Christie did a great job of showing flashbacks to demonstrate the power of guilt.

In the Twilight Zone episode “Deaths head revisited”, Rod Serling shows the power of guilt using Point of view. He uses point of view by showing Mr Schmidt how the concentration camps were from the prisoners perspective. When Mr Schmidt was dwelling on the past of the concentration camps he was happy and proud of what he did. However, when he saw what the camps were like from Beckers point of view, he realized how terrible it was for the prisoners and he drove him to go insane. At the beginning of the episode he was having flashbacks while smiling. He seemed proud of what he had done. This was until Becker said and the other prisoners put him on trial. He started to feel nervous and you could tell he was starting to go crazy. When Becker said “Now you see how it feels”(Serling) It was clearly demonstrated by Rod Serling that Schmidt was seeing what it was like from a different perspective.. Schmidt was even able to feel the pain of the prisoners. Rod Serling was able to show the watcher a clear demonstration of how point of view can show the power of guilt.

After reading the novel, and watching the show, I was able to see how different literary devices can be used to show point of view. Agatha Christie was able to use flashbacks to show the power of guilt. Rod serling was able to use Point of view to show the power of guilt. Christie and Serling both did a great job of showing the power of guilt using different techniques.

The poem represents how each character dies to some extent and how long they have to live. For example, Marston choked to death and Mrs. Rogers died from an overdose(overslept) “A child rhyme of my infancy came back to my mind-the rhyme of the ten little soldier boys"(Christie 288). This quote shows that Wargrave wanted the rhyme to connect to his murders. "A Fantastical crime!" He had said.

In the book, one of t
he most important symbols is the poem . Symbolism is a tool that can use words, objects, or even locations to describe and represent something beyond the literal meaning. This poem has ten lines, and it is hung in each of the ten bedrooms in the house. The poem is a creepy and twisted way that the killer of the island decided to use. This poem is a way to keep the guests scared and stressed throughout the killings. Each line in this poem represents one person in the house, and how they will die. For instance, “10 little soldier boys went out to dine, one choked himself and then there were 9”(Christie,1).This quote provides the reader evidence for how the first “soldier boy” will die, and in this case , it is Tony Marston.

Symbolism, as seen in the storm and soldier figures, represents life and death for the visitors, and plays a significant role in the story. Feeling guilty conscience, as seen by Vera's encounters with Cyril, opens up the reader to new possibilities.to the novel, which, in turn, opens up new possibilities for predictions. These two literary devices provided more information about the plot while maintaining the mysterious element of the novel.

One scene that depicts the power of guilt is in chapter 10. Emily Brent is sitting in her bedroom. She is writing about her experiences so far on the island. Earlier in the novel, she feels no guilt for her crimes, which involve her killing a pregnant girl named Beatrice Taylor. Emily Brent always denied being involved in the death of the girl. This scene is the first spot in the book where we see Emily Brent begin to crack under the pressure of having commit a murder. On page 175, Miss Brent is writing in her journal, and her attitude was completely normal. Suddenly, she begins to doze off and in shaky writing she writes “BEATRICE TAYLOR IS THE MURDERER”. Following this, she says “Did I write that? Did I? I must be going mad…” (Christie 175). In this quote, she doesn't even recall writing this specific sentence. This quote shows how guilt is beginning to take over her mindset without her control, and this will affect her later in the book.

In this scene as Vera is putting the rope over her neck she says “You can go to the rock Cyril...That was what murder was-as easy as that” (Christie 169). This scene shows the power of guilt because it is a good example of how guilt changes Vera. At the beginning of the book, Vera would have not given in and hung herself, but due to the enormous amount of stress and guilt she had to endure for the past couple of days, Vera was changed

Out of those ten guests, Vera Claythorne and Emily Brent felt guilt in a powerful way. The guilt that they felt for their crimes has affected them their entire life and has haunted them even if they never showed it. Even though they feel guilt in different ways, they both have this feeling inside of them that’s just boiling in their stomach.

the power of guilt effected Vera Claythorne and how she slowly let the guilt build over her which let her go crazy enough until she killed herself. The guilt that had slowly built over time was because she killed Cyril for Hugo.  That along with every person on the island died slowly one by one was enouhh to haunt her. Vera knew she was soon so one reason she went insane is that she locked herself in her room thinking it would save her from being killed. While it did keep her from death, it didn't keep her from going insane. This was only one of the things that made Vera go insane.

“She opened it and began writing. "A terrible thing has happened. General Macarthur is dead. (His cousin married Elsie MacPherson.) There is no doubt but that he was murdered. After lunch, the judge made us a most interesting speech. He is convinced that the murderer is one of us. That means that one of us is possessed by a devil. I had already suspected that. Which of us is it? They are all asking themselves that. I alone know..."(Christie 174-175) This scene shows that Emily has a lot of thoughts that she needs to write down not to fully go crazy although she has gone crazy a few times, in this quote she starts writing about General Macarthur and someone on the Island being possessed and then she thinks about who it is, And then Writes down BEATRICE TAYLOR, Which She had turned Beatrice away and not many days later she had Drowned herself and Emily feels very guilty for the death and she thinks that She is the reason for Beatrice’s death.

The book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and the show The Twilight Zone episode Deaths-Head Revisited by Rod Sterling both show the power of guilt. Both the show and the book have two completely different plots. But the book and show tie up together because they both can show the power of guilt and how it can lead to a character’s death.

Then she went to the room and saw the rope hanging from the hook and the guilt of killing Cyril and running things with Hugo drove her to hang herself. This shows guilt doesn't only have the power to take over your life but make you end it.

" I'm talking to you, young man. The day of judgment is very close to hand''(Christie 17). The storm could be a metaphor for the bad stuff that can occur on the island. If there is a storm or bad weather, it usually means that something bad is about to happen. Thunder and rain represent death and blood, as well as bad things that have happened or are about to happen. This is done by authors to encourage doubt and maintain the reader's attention. This shows symbolism. What fun they are the ten little soldier boys of the nursery rhyme I suppose. In my bedroom the rhyme is framed and hung over the mantelpiece" In the story the poem is important because It illustrates how each character in the book died. "I'm talking to you young man. The day of judgement is very close in hand"(Christie 16-17). This illustrates Symbolism because he advises Blore that the day could end badly if he makes a poor decision, and it is up to him to make the right decision

“You can go to the rock, Cyril...That was what murder was- as easy as that.But afterwards you went on remembering... “(Christie 269). This shows the power of guilt because it shows how at the time when you do something bad it doesn't really matter but once you start to really think about what you did you start to feel sick, which shows how she is guilty because even years after what she did it still affects her, which we know as in the book she randomly thinks she feels Cyrils presence even though he has been dead for a long time. Which shows how guilt can corrupt some people even if it happened a long time ago.
