  • What Is The Ultimate Justice System In Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None?

    1351 Words  | 3 Pages

    With the typical mystery novel falling between the common outline of victims and an unknown criminal that is painted in a dull and consistent palette of predictability, every single character in this storyline is a criminal but also a victim of their own guilt. Rather than exploring the mere surface of leveled justice, a deeper meaning of the concept is reached as death is doled out in an order of increasing guilt; those who are less guilty die towards the beginning of the purge to evade the anxiety and panic that haunts one as they continue their trek and witness their fate. Evading the governmental justice system before, the characters are emotionally tortured as they succumb to their thoughts and mortality, but because humans are innately imperfect, the justice system is also flawed.
