Justice Wargrave is known as a "hanging judge". What's odd about this is that the last character alive in the poem dies from hanging. This means Wargrave might be the last one alive and then hang himself. If he is the last character alive then that makes him the killer.

"To his right was Wargrave, slowly pacing up and down, his head bent down." (Christie 104). If someone is walking around while looking downward, it usually means someone is either looking for something, or is doing something. Whatever it means, it certainly is an odd behavior.

"Carefully, Mr. Justice Wargrave removed his false teeth and dropped them into a glass of water. The shrunken lips fell in. It was a cruel and predatory. Hooding his eyes, the judge smiled to himself."

Foreshadowing: Subsiding on to his seat Mr. Blore thought to himself: He's nearer the day of judgment than I am! But there, as it happens, he was wrong...."

This shows that Mr. Blore is going to die soon, sooner than the old man, and so he is most likely not the murderer. We haven't seen much of him since this, making him seem insignificant.

Characterization: "The butler came forward bowing slightly. He was a tall lank man, grey-haired and very respectable"(Christie 30).

"Rogers said quickly:

'Of course it did. It gave me a turn, too. Fair made me drop that tray. Wicked lies, it was! I'd like to know-'" (Christie 52).

These are examples of characterization of Mr. Rogers because they give a physical and emotional discription of him. The first sentence is when he is first introduced in the book, and the second is after his wife passed out from the record playing. The second sentence shows his emotional response to an accusation made by the record. This creates a tone of suspicion around his guilt.

"Yes he'd sent Richmond to his death and he wasn't sorry." Throughout the first chapters of the story, we hadn't seen much from Mcarthurs personality, but now as the book escalates we are finding out about their secrets. McArthur was being cheated on by his wife, and in response sent her love to his death. McArthur isnt as nice as we imagined and his vindictive side is slowly coming out.

After being accused of his murder, Vera's memories from that night are coming back, and shes going through denial and guilt about what happened to Hugo.

"Blore said: 'There goes another one who's barmy! Looks as though it'll end with the whole lot going that way.' Philip Lombard said: "I don't fancy you will, Blore.' The ex-inspector laughed... 'And I don't think you'll be going that way either, Mr. Lombard.' Philip Lombard said: 'I feel quite sane at the minute, thank you.'" (Christie 104)

Characterization: General Macarthur stood up to explain the death he had caused and when he had finished speaking "[he] sat down. His shaking hand pulled at his mustache. The effort to speak had caused him a good deal" (Christie 77).

Characterization: "Dr. Armstrong spoke to her soothingly: ' You'll be alright now, Mrs. Rogers. Just a nasty turn.' She said:

'Did I faint, sir?'

'Yes.'

'It was the voice-that awful voice-like a judgment-'

Her face turned green again, her eyelids fluttered. (Christie 44)

This shows that Dr. Armstrong can be empathetic and that he might be helpful in similar scenarios, as he is a doctor.

"The was a silence in the room. Everybody was looking, covertly or openly, at Emily Brent. It was a minute or two before she became aware of the expectation. Her eyebrows rose on her narrow forehead.

She said: 'Are waiting for me to say something? I have nothing to say.

The judge said: 'Nothing, Miss Brent?'

Her lips closed tightly. The judge stroked his face. He said mildly: 'You reserve your defense?' Miss Brent said coldly:

There is no question of defence. I have always acted in accordance with the dictates of my conscience. I have nothing with which to reproach myself.' There was an unsatisfied feeling in the air. But Emily Brent was not one to be swayed by public opinion. She sat unyielding. (Christie 48)

Characterization:

"Lucky that he'd managed to pull himself together in time after that business ten-no, fifteen years ago. It had been a near thing, that! He'd been going to pieces. The shock had pulled him together. He'd cut out drink all together. By Jove, it had been a near thing though...."

This verifies that Dr. Armstrong still drinks, as he had when he killed Clees.

Justice Wargrave Is sick (possibly from old age) and may not have much longer to live. We know he is old because he was recently retired. This is shown in the quote: "In the corner of a first-class smoking carraige, Mr Justice Wargrave, lately retired from the bench, puffed at a cigar and ran an interested eye through the political news in "The Times"" (Christie 1). Due to him being sick, he may have nothing to lose and because he is old, nobody will suspect him. This leads me to think it is likely him.

"Again the forefinger of the judge stoked his lip, this time appreciatively. "Your conclusions are, I think, justified," he said " Ulick Norman Owen! In Miss Brent's letter, though the signature of the surname is a mere scrawl the Christian names are reasonably clear-Una Nancy-in either case you noticed, the same initials. Ulick Norman Owen-Una Nancy Owen- each time, that is to say, U.N.Owen. Or by a slight stretch of fancy, UNKNOWN!" " (Christie 61)

Lombard said:

"In my room, too."

"And mine."

"And mine."

Everybody joined in the chorus. Vera said: "It's an amusing idea, isn't it?"

Mr. Justice Wargrave grunted:

"Remarkably childish," and helped himself to port.

Characterization: Since Phillip Lombard was a captain in the military, he started taking charge in some of the situations by comforting the people who were frightened. "Lombard was the first to move.

"There was a mention, sir, of me and Mrs Rogers. And of Miss Brady. There isn’t a word of truth in it, sir. My wife and I were with Miss Brady till she died. She was always in poor health, sir, always from the

time we came to her. There was a storm, sir, that night – the night she was taken bad. The telephone was out of order. We couldn’t get the doctor to her.I went for him, sir, on foot. But he got there too late.We’d done everything possible for her, sir. Devoted to her, we were. Anyone will tell you the same. There was never a word said against us. Not a word. (Christie 69) "

Characterization : "Lombard's own lips parted in a grin. By Jove, he'd sailed pretty near the wind once or twice! But he'd always got away with it! There wasn't much he drew the line at really . . . No, there wasn't much he'd draw the line at. He fancied that he was going to enjoy himself at Soldier Island . . ." (Christie, 17).

This piece of text shows that Phillip Lombard has done some things that could've gotten him in trouble, but he has never gotten caught. He is a risktaker and someone that is up to do almost anything.

Characterization: Tony Marston made bad decisions with his friends and he ran over to kids because he was not being a safe and smart driver. He says, "I've been thinking John and Lucy Combes. Must have been a couple of kids I ran over near Cambridge." ( Christie page 68). Tony was stubborn and did not believe that it was his fault that he ran over the kids, he blamed them for being in the road.

In And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, we can see that Tony Marston is a careless, selfish character. Marston says that, "I've just been thinking-- John and Lucy Combes. Must have been a couple of kids I ran over near Cambridge. Beastly bad luck"(Christie 68). This shows that Marston doesn't care for the kids he killed. He explains it as bad luck, and plainly names them as a couple of kids, without acknowledging that they were real people.

"The manservant, Rodgers, had been moistening his lips and twisting his hands." (Christie 69)

'Well, I was thinking- for me- but of course, you're right, sir, it was damned bad luck on them. of course it was a pure accident. They rushed out of some cottage or other. I had my licence suspended for a year. Beastly nuisance'"(Christie 68).

This is an example of characterization of Tony Marston because it shows how he is self-centered and only cares about the inconvenience of having his licence suspended, and not that he killed two children.

We know Wargrave has seen some, if not all, of the court cases for the murders the other 9 were accused of. What if he tought the cases were either rigged or wrong, and is taking his own revenge on them. We know he has been called a hung judge, and that he wasnt the judge for all the other's cases. He could have records on the others from his possition, explaing how the letters know so much about them, and the owens not being seen (beacuse they might not exist). He could've bought the island with the money he got from being a judge, and been planning this after seeing the trials for others.

Plot Elements- In the beginning of the book, we find out that Mr. Blore has a list of everyone invited to Soldier Island. We also find out that he has been to soldier island when he was a little boy. This makes Mr. Blore very easy to suspect.

Characterization- "Not only are you here under a false name, Mr. Blore, but in addition I've noticed this evening that you're a first class liar. You claim to have come from Natal, South Africa. I know South Africa and Natal and I'm prepared to swear that you've never set foot in South Africa in your life." This quote shows how deceptive Mr. Blore is. He is lying to all the other people, and losing all their trust. Mr. Blore is not credible, and the others will be watching him throughout their time on Soldier Island.

Characterization- "Story's quite true! I left 'em! Matter of self preservation. We were lost in the bush. I and a couple of other fellows took what food there was and cleared out." Phillip Lombard has remorse for the lives he took from the natives in Africa. He left them there with no food to die. As most know, actions speak louder than words, so by him leaving the tribe, we can guess he is a very cold-blooded person. Through this quote we can characterize Lombard as pretty heartless.
