Finally alone with 9 dead bodies, Vera Claythorne is exhausted and wishes to sleep. When she gets to her room, however, she finds a noose and chair all ready.
Throughout the story, Vera has been shown to have some sort of dark past involving a drowning, a child named Cyril, and her lover, Hugo. It is revealed in the later part of the story that she let Cyril (her student) drown so that his uncle could inherit enough money to marry Vera. "That was what murder was - as easy as that!
But afterwards you went on remembering..." However, she did not realize that "[Hugo] loved that kid," and furthermore, Hugo knew what she had done.
Thinking Hugo would want her to, Vera Claythorne hangs herself out of guilt. This shows how her past guilt affects her present actions.

Blore's head is found crushed in by a huge marble clock shaped like a bear, and the "disappeared" Armstrong is found washed up, drowned. The two remaining people, Lombard and Vera Claythorne, immediately suspect the other as the murderer.
“They managed it, however, drawing the body [of Armstrong] clear of the high water mark.

Lombard said as he straightened up: 'Satisfied?'

Vera said: 'Quite.'

Her tone warned him. He spun around. Even as he clapped his hand to his pocket he knew that he would find it empty.

She had moved a yard or two and was facing him, revolver in hand.”
Soon after, Vera Claythorne shoots the last remaining person on the island only out of suspicion and certainty it is him. All this shows how the suspicion and fear leads to rash and dangerous decisions.

Most recently, Armstrong has completely vanished off of the island. The remaining three, Blore, Lombard, and Vera Claythorne, want to get rid of Lombard's revolver out of the possibility of him being the murderer.

"'No, I won’t. That revolver’s mine. I need it to defend myself - and I’m going to keep it.'

Blore said: 'In that case we’re bound to come to one conclusion.'

'That I’m U.N. Owen? Think what you damned well please. But I’ll ask you, if that’s so, why I didn’t pot you with the revolver last night? I could have, about twenty times over.'

Blore shook his head. He said: 'I don’t know - and that’s a fact. You must have had some reason.'"

This, and the fact that Vera suspects that Armstrong may have just faked his death to fool them, shows how the conflict affects the characters, in the way of them becoming paranoid and imagining all the possible ways things have happened.

Mr. Justice Wargrave is shot dead during the chaos caused by Vera being baited. The remaining four have dinner of tinned tongue, eating "mechanically." They suspect the rest and are terrified. From the book:
"Armstrong said:
'Four of us, and we don’t know which...'
Blore said:
'I know...'
Vera said:
'I haven’t the least doubt...'
Armstrong said slowly:
'I suppose I do know really...'
Philip Lombard said:
'I think I’ve got a pretty good idea now...'
Again they all looked at each other...
Vera staggered to her feet. She said:
'I feel awful. I must go to bed... I’m dead beat.'"
This shows how the past events make them suspect each other and how the suspicion is making them paranoid.

After the death of Emily Brent by an injection of cyanide to the neck and the searching and containment of anything lethal, the five remaining people on the island sit down together. Phillip Lombard's revolver is missing, and Dr. Armstrong had a hypodermic syringe which was the murder weapon (alongside cyanide) for Ms. Brent. This, among other things, leads everyone to suspect the others, and leads them all to sit nervously, watching everyone else. The suspicion and terror of being next to die is shown by their thoughts. An unspecified character thinks “It’s Armstrong... I saw him looking at me sideways just then... his eyes are mad... quite mad... Perhaps he isn’t a doctor at all... That’s it, of course!... He’s a lunatic, escaped from some doctor’s house - pretending to be a doctor..."
This further shows how the air of suspicion and terror is affecting them, making them think irrationally and trying to blame others.

So far, 8 people have been invited to Soldier Island, and upon arrival, the 10 total people on the island are accused of murder. At the point of this scene, 4 people of 10 have died in accordance with the first 4 lines of the rhyme "Ten Little Soldiers." Marston is poisoned with cyanide via his drink, making it seem like he "choked his little self." Mrs. Rogers is killed in her sleep with some sort of poison, as if she "overslept." MacArthur is killed with a blow to the head when he stays outside of the house, and most recently, Mr. Rogers is hit with an axe while chopping firewood.

The scene of interest is at breakfast the morning after. The remaining 6 people are excessively polite to each other, but actually in complete panic and turmoil. Examples of each can be found from these two pieces of text evidence. An unspecified character says, "May I get you some more coffee, Miss Brent?" However, another unspecified character thinks, "It’s crazy - every thing’s crazy. I’m going crazy. Wool disappearing - red silk curtains - it doesn’t make sense. I can’t get the hang of it..."

This shows how the events of the previous few days and the slow death of 4 people and accusation of murder to all participants of the party; it is driving them crazy and paranoid and they expect themselves to be next.

Vera Claythorne was a governess, a person who teaches and cares for another's child for the parents. She teaches for a family who have a kid named Cyril Hamilton, and realizes if he dies, then her lover, Hugo Hamilton (Cyril's uncle) will become rich and can marry her. She allows him to drown, but Hugo knows what she did and she quits her job. This shows how love or other similar feelings are not all good.

At the very end of the story, Vera Claythorne and Phillip Lombard are left alone on the island, being the only two alive.

A theme found throughout the story is keeping secrets, as pretty much nobody else knows about what causes Terry's father's eyes to go away. At the end, Terry asks him about what happened in Vietnam, and his father lets all of it out. This may allow Terry to help his father slowly recover, be it himself or calling someone to help. "‘But there had to be something,’ Terry persisted. ‘Someting made him like that. Not just Vietnam. Billy’s father was there, and he doesn’t act that way.’ ‘That’s enough questions,’ his mother saidsternly. ‘He doesn’t talk about it, and I don’t ask. Neither will you. Do you understand?’" This shows that either Terry's mother does not know what happened either or that she also is in on it.

During Aleena's birthday party, Hakeem ruins the sand bottles that the group made. I can relate to this because my baby cousin (who is staying over until this summer) once got into my room and scribbled all over an old school project.
