I wonder if Agatha Christie chose to include the part about the authorities to get some "normal" back into the story after all the fear and killings and unnatural cravings for DEATH.

# data[].attributes.body
I just want to make sure we all know that Wargrave chose people who had specifically  murdered that couldn't be touched by the law.

# data[].attributes.body
Before reading the manuscript, I thought that taking the job within the law could just be to cover up the killings but truly it was to satisfy his needs.

# data[].attributes.body
When he talks about getting joy from killing/torturing small animals, these are actual signs of a serial killer.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Wargrave has had a mental issue since he was a child because in the manuscript he states that "Ever since he was young he like to see people get hurt or killed."

# data[].attributes.body
In the manuscript that Wargrave wrote he said that he wrote this and threw it out to sea. He also mentioned that he wanted this to be an unsolvable mystery. Why would he explain everything that happened and throw it out to sea when there's a chance that someone might find it if he wanted it to be an unsolved mystery?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the author intended to have the reader just read the book and eploge and not have the manuscript and the publisher made her put in the answer because that is the kind of author I think she was.

# data[].attributes.body
It seemed like he was trying to compensate for maybe the fact that he
killed the people...

# data[].attributes.body
I agree becuse otherwise I would have thouht U.N Owen was actually someone else.

This book leaves you with many questions and very few answers. I think that most people expected things too happen but didn't. What was one thing you expected?

# data[].attributes.body
"and supposing he gets us?" To me this is some foreshadowing. I can see this because why would he even say such a thing?

# data[].attributes.body
Why would Wargrave be a judge if he liked to see people die. Also he seemed to be a very clever man.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Eploge the police are trying to figure out the events that happened on the island. Now days it would be easier to find the murder because we could tell when they died. Do you think that if the time period was different it would effect the book?

# data[].attributes.body
The brand of Cain” (E.197). The mark on Wargrave's forehead is symbolic because it hearkens back to Hebrew Bible's story of Cain and Abel. In the story, Cain kills his brother Abel, and then God slaps a mark on his face so everyone will know it.--that was a quote taken from a website I found.

# data[].attributes.body
Brandon you do have a very... um... creative imagintion but I think that he is just a scared man trying to catch the thought to be murder.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that

# data[].attributes.body
Now I'm imagining that they lock arms and are bounding down the corridor, saluting. Expressionless. My imagination is simply too much to handle

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though he may have stolen some of the medicine from Armstrong and kept his composure.

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't help but laugh here. I just imagine a fully grown man running down a corridor flinging his arms around expressionless.

# data[].attributes.body
So, I believe that we can come to the consensus that Lawrence Wargrave is utterly insane. This I do not know if is to do with something within the work line.

No more being careful for him.....

Lawrence Wargrave death and second to last page of the manuscript--Kaylan

It says on the second to last page of the manuscript that the killer Wargrave shot himself in the forehead as the "brand of Cain." He also says that that is symbolical. What does that mean?

# data[].attributes.body
It said in the manuscript "I was born with other traits.... a definite sadistic delight in seeing or causing death." That suggest that even from a young age he was a psyopath. How was it that he seemed so calm and sane during the whole book untill he faked his death?

# data[].attributes.body
Why would someone have a pleasure for killing someone at a young age

# data[].attributes.body
I think that was why he became a judge so he had the power to kill without being caught and I agree that he is a psychopath.

My reaction to "My reaction when I read the Manuscript- Kaylan"- Brandon

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe working within the justice system and hearing about all of these insane crimes being committed made Wargrave want to feel what it would be like. Or it may be simple as developing some kind of mental illness from all of the stress.

# data[].attributes.body
The whole "being swallowed by a red herring" think was a red herring within itself because, Armstrong kind of was a red herring to the plot which is what I believe Agatha Christie was getting at.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end Vera was convinced that her old lovers spirt was behind all this and wanted to watch her die. But, do you Wargrave should have come out a convinced her to hang her self because at that time she would have been willing to kill her self even if she was not the last one on the island.

LAWRENCE WARGRAVE IS A COMPLETE PSYCHOPATH. That is all I have to say. "the urge to kill"?!?! that is not natural, especially for a judge.

# data[].attributes.body
Although unbelievable, I think that if you had no other way to assume who did what, or what killed whom, that may be a safe bet to assume.

# data[].attributes.body
Then also Wargrave, in order to maintain his promise that he would kill all the people, stabbed Armstrong in the back, as he pushed Armstrong off the cliff and to his doom.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it would be believe able if it was a weird spirt story because the story really made you think and pay attention but for nothing because, as we know the person was "killed

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Armstrong knew Wargrave was the murderer because remember they were working together; it said to in the manuscript because when Wargrave staged his death Armstrong was the one who looked him over and said yes he was murdered because otherwise they would've found out that Wargrave faked his death.

# data[].attributes.body
I am glad that I read the manuscript because otherwise I would've gone on thinking that there was some evil spirit in the house that cleaned up after all ten people were dead.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end we find that Wargrave was the murder and I now understand why Agatha Christie is called the Queen of Mysteries. I don't agree with the plot because how was Armstrong swallowed by a red herring and did he know Wargrave was the murder or not

# data[].attributes.body
Anthony ran over those two kids John and Lucy Combes and killed them

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the detail about people being killed by poisoning is a red herring, just like on pages 80, 81,82,83, and 84 it talks about Anthony getting killed by poison. Which feel is cliche

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all of them are associated with at least one murder EXCEPT Anthony.

# data[].attributes.body
Fact--they always think that the next person to die is the murderer. Example on pages 163-165: Blore reckons that Emily Brent is the murderer right before she dies.

# data[].attributes.body
I think you are right but so far no one else has done that so I don't think that will be a good way to see who will die next.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the characters mention seeing the people they killed as zombies. . .undead. . . right before they die. like on page 163 Emily Brent is about to die and, quote, "There was somebody in the room. . . Somebody all wet and dripping. . .Beatrice Taylor came from the river. . "
(Reflection--Emily Brent killed Beatrice Taylor.)
And also when Vera Claythorne thought she was going to die she felt the hand of the kid she drowned, Cyril, on her shoulder.

# data[].attributes.body
Emily Brent dies--she's not the murderer

# data[].attributes.body
Many of them have excuses for there murder like a shield to protect them. Dr. Armstrong for example can say people die in surgery all the time which is in fact true but still...

# data[].attributes.body
Miss Brent seams to have no regard for human life if she is some how involved, like in her story on Beatrice Taylor.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Kaylan is on to something but I don't think that is it. I think that neither Blore nor the person sneaking out is the murder, remember that a red herring is a person to mislead the reader to thinking that person is the murder.

On page 193 Blore hears someone moving about outside his door in the dead of night. He is suspicious that it's a trap, but he decides to go out anyway. The next way a person is to die in the nursery rhyme is by a red herring swallowing them, and I think that's figurative language. I think that the person is trying to get him to come out so the murderer can kill Blore, and that's the red herring.

Originally 10 china figures and ten people were on soldier island. It seems as though one figure goes missing when somebody dies. I can tell this because when Anthony dies, Rogers notices that 1 is missing. When Rogers's wife dies, he notices another figure goes missing....

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Dr Armstrong had been associated with a murder in the past because of his dream.

# data[].attributes.body
Blore says that it will take a lot to make him go crazy. I think that this could be some foreshadowing at him going insane in the near future.

The general seems fairly certain that the motorboat will not arrive. He then goes on to talk about how the only way to have true peace is for everything to come to an end. Could this potentially mean that General MacArthur had something to do with the boat along with his seemingly radical theories?

# data[].attributes.body
When they ask when the motor boat arrives Rogers illudes to the fact that the boat is abnomaly late. On the next page, Blore says that the motor boat not arriving on time is no accident. I think that this is to keep everybody here longer so that they can kill more and more people. Kill the doctor first so nobody has any medical knowledge.

Lombard is the last to go to bed, suspicious

I think its obvious that Anthony did not kill himself.

I believe that Blore conversed with Rogers to figure out a way to kill his wife.

Dr Armstrong calls Anthony a young norse god

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with everyone else everyone is dying based on the nursery rhyme but I think it's only half the truth. One the one where the soilder boys were traveling in Devon and one disidead to stay there. That would mean they either got back or one excaped.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 79 Vera Claythorne keeps remarking to Dr Armstrong's talk about Mrs. Rogers death and she says, "It might have been a heart failure I suppose?" Mr Rogers thought it had something to do with her heart; suspicious that Vera knew that

I think he might have something to do withe the killings because he said he didn't want to leave the island, like Grace said. Also Vera said that she didn't want to die, that death was for the other people. . .

# data[].attributes.body
I think Vera Claythorne is a red herring because on page 72 she is thinking about how death is for "the other people."

# data[].attributes.body
Although he is dreaming, he is supposed to commit a murder. He forgot who to kill. Could he have killed Anthony accidentaly?

I predict that after every death one of the china figures will disapper.

None of the people know the Owens. Weird

Like the others in the story suggest: he was at the peak of his life. He couldn't have killed himself....

Each of them are dying according to what the nursery rhyme says

# data[].attributes.body
On page 70 it says" He knew suddenly, that he didn't want to leave the island." I think this is forshadowing he will die or might be the one who "Overslept himself." The one stanza in the rhyme about " One said he'd stay there and then there were seven," would also fit into this

There were ten china figures on the table and now its after Anthony's incident that there are nine . . .creepy

SUSPICIOUS: maybe a spirit or curse on the house killing whoever wants to solve the mystery?

# data[].attributes.body
In the nursery rhyme at the beginning of the book it mentions that a ¨red herring swallowed one" the rhyme seems to refer to the red herring as some kind of animal but there is no knd of red herring animal. Seems very suspicious and it seems like one of them will die because of a red herring.

On page 22 Fred Narracott mentions that he never sees or has seen the Owens at all. . .
Suspicious.

On page 6 Mr. Isaac Morris was mentioned in Philip Lombard's backstory as a little Jew. He was exchanging something for one hundred guineas, and on page 22 Morris is mentioned again this time by Fred Narracott, saying that "everything is always ordered and paid for by that Mr. Morris.
Connection. . .

# data[].attributes.body
On page 22 it describes Anthony Marston when he's riding in his car toward the guests as "In the blaze of the evening light he looked, not a man, but a young God, a Hero God out of some Northern Saga. He touched the horn and a great roar of sound echoed from the rocks of the bay. It was a fantastic moment. In it, Anthony Marston seemed to be something more than mortal. Afterwards more than one of those present remembered that moment." It seems suspicious that they describe him as seeming more than mortal, almost godly.
