And Then There Were None 2
By chapter 13 of And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie, half of the ten guests that ventured out to Indian Island are killed. These incidents cause the remaining guests to react in bizarre ways. These reactions are common to most people that are placed in this situation. They protect themselves and react differently around each other. There are also accusations that are made about who may have done the killing of the first five guests, and there are alliances that are made to help find out who the murdered really is. Out of ten guests plus the boat handler, who brought them over to the island, one of them is the murderer. Who is it, and what do the guests do to find out who he or she is? First of all some of the precautions that the guests take is to lock and place furniture in front of all there doors. "There were sounds of bolts and locks, and of moving furniture."

If you ask me I think that the murderer was Mr Justice Wargrave. Another reaction that occurs naturally in this situation is the tendency to accuse people before they can be proven innocent. Each remaining guest has a different suspicion of who the killer is. William Blore had many suspicions on who did it. One of his suspicions was that Miss Brent did it. "We needn't look farther for the author of these deaths than the dining-room at this minute." (pg 135) After the death of Miss Brent he then believed it was Dr Armstrong. "Armstrong- eh? So he's our pigeon!" (pg 161) Philip Lombard also thought that the culprit was Dr Armstrong. "Expected you to pass out through fright! Some people would have, wouldn't they, doctor?" (pg 150) Vera Claythorne, along with Blore and Lombard, also thought it was Dr Armstrong. "It's Armstrong..........He's a lunatic, escaped from some doctor's house- pretending to be a doctor."
