Review: And Then There Were None By Agatha Christie

177 Words1 Pages
In the story And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie I believe that the killer does not act justly for many reasons. The first reason is because most of the guest on the island had payed for what they did. They did not just get off the hook they all had something taken from them after they committed the murder. The second reason is because justice had no right to just go around killing more people. Just because he was a judge doesn't mean he has the right to kill the guests on the island. The last reason why killing the guests was ok is because some of the guest served a key role in life. For example Dr. Armstrong he was a doctor and he helped people get better. Secondly is Mr and Mrs. Rodgers they also he elderly people live a normal life.

Even though murder can be frowned upon, it can be justified when it is done to protect friends. Ponyboy writes,“... he [Johnny] finally blurted out,’but they were drownin’ you, and I was so scared…’” (Hinton 74). Johnny shows that he is concerned for the well being of his friend Ponyboy. This makes murder justifiable because if the murder did not happen, Ponyboy would have gotten hurt which would have taken a large toll on Johnny and all Ponyboy’s friends and family.

However, their hanging is definable as murder due to the premeditation of those responsible for their deaths. In regards to the crimes committed and the fact that the victims were well-loved community members, the jury felt as though these criminals’ actions merited their execution. However, if one strips the cloak of law from these citizens, the reasoning behind these hangings is incited by malice and a belief in the necessity of the deaths of these men. Consequently, in a court of law, no intentional killing is justifiable; a murder is a murder, regardless of circumstances. Nonetheless, a juror states during the voir dire examination, “Ordinarily I’m against [capital punishment].

People often associate murder with psychopaths and sociopaths, whom out of malice and corruption, brutally torture their victims to death. While this cliché is over portrayed in fictional thriller stories, it is not the case for all murders. Most criminals have reasons. Occasionally, the criminal defendant is found to have been innocent by reason of insanity. There are multiple branches of morality to consider before deeming one accountable for their own actions.

In Nothing But the Truth there is one thing that stood out to me throughout the entire book. The whole book is full of lies. Philip Malloy tells lies about everything and to everyone. He lies to his parents, the principal, and even to a reporter that is interviewing him. Throughout the book we continue to see the lies play out until the very end of the book when Philip finally decides to tell the truth.

Whether killing is ever justified or not, is a question that people face more than most would think. People such as police officers and soldiers meet that decision in their daily lives and in their situation killing is justified because it is necessary in saving their life or a civilian’s life. In the novella Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, George Milton was faced with a similar decision. When Lennie Small killed Curley’s wife, George decided to take the law into his own hands, and shoot his best friend instead of turning him over to the proper authorities for a fair, lawful, and just punishment. George should be punished for the death of Lennie because Lennie did not understand what he had done, he did not put George in any immediate

In Franz Kafka’s “In the Penal Colony,” there is no presumption of innocence whatsoever; there is only presumption. “Innocent until proven guilty.” This presumption of innocence is considered to be the foundation of a civilized criminal justice system, as well as within the fundamental rights of mankind. The Officer says that “guilt is never to be doubted,” and because he was ordained the judge of the penal colony, there is no proper trial or “due process” needed, as all are guilty in the eyes of the one who judges (Kafka, p.198). If the punishments delivered to the guilty were less severe, than there would perhaps be fewer qualms about the system, however the “justice” dispensed by the machine is nowhere near reasonable or humane, dispensing

While going through the web, I came across the story of Grace Marks whose conviction was questionable and started numerous verbal confrontations with respect to whether she was a piece of the murder or not. I was pulled into the mysterious nature of Grace Marks. After some exploration, I realized that Margaret Atwood had written a fictional book regarding the case of Alias Grace and it was likewise made into a Netflix series. The book is considered to be sensuous, perplexing book with a tale of sexuality, cruelty, and mystery. The themes that intrigued me in this book is the perspective of feminism in the 19th century, the mysterious behavior of Grace and the truth that people have been trying to uncover, alongside the aspect of utilization
