In “And Then There Were None ” by Agatha Christie, Wargrave, an old judge obsessed with the law and justice, invites an assortment of nine other strangers (who are each guilty with the form of murder that can’t be proved) to an island for the weekend. There, Wargrave pretends to have been invited but the same mysterious host U.N. Owen just as the others have and strategically kills them off one by one in the same way the soldier boys are killed in the poem that is framed in every room called “The Ten Boy Soldiers”. A set of ten china soldiers found in the dining room symbolizes not only each of the ten characters but also the mentality of Wargrave, the murderer. As each character dies, Wargrave removes a china soldier from the dining room.
