Anaylsis of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Essays

The book that I read was called “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie. This version of the book was published in 2001, originally published as Ten Little Niggers.

Vera was invited to the island because she had killed a little boy that she was caring for. Vera is one of the smartest characters in this story because she always seems to be a step ahead of everyone. Finally, the last main character is Philip Lombardo, Philip was a soldier in Africa and had selfishly left his group to solely survive on his own. He seems to be one of the most resourceful men in this story as he quickly figures a solution to most problems that the group has. Mrs. Owen is and is not a main character, in the beginning before everyone had arrived at the island Mrs. Owen was the supposed owner….
