无人生还读后感

It is said that the committing crime is the nature and original desire of human being. In my opinion, then there were none is the most blood-curdling and creeping one of all the creations of Christie. The story makes people with your hair standing on end and marvel at the crime‟s delicateness.

The story goes on with the way that Christie is most good at, a group of people was stuck in a place that nobody can come in and nobody can go out, while the murderer is one of them. People die one by one, and the feeling …you‟re next to go‟ and the fear is like a shadow surrounded tightly. All the things that one can do is to guess, suppose and curse. Every collaboration and cooperation with the other people is full of suspicion and mistrust. The human nature totally came out when someone is confronted with desperation and death.

In the book, you can even not tell who is controlling the whole story and what effects the tone, the voice or the language. The author put the thoughts of the characters in there, without telling you whose thoughts they were. I think Justice Wargrave was telling the story, but it is just my idea. Christie never showed that. It just make you to guess. Like the characters in the story.

The motive of the murder depended on the characters and their personalities. Everyone seems to have his own motive and they are different from each other. But the only similar thing is the willingness to give justice to the murders of innocent people. And If I had to find a common thread of “motive”, I wou ld say that selfishness would probably be number one. Vera killed the child out of selfishness, General MacArthur- selfishness, even Dr. Armstrong‟s drinking and Anthony‟s driving over the children were different forms of selfishness and not being focused on the needs of others.

Pretty much all the characters acted rather calm throughout the whole thing. I can‟t imagine what I will do if I were in that situation, I would panic, cry, and find a trustworthy person and stick with them the whole time.

However, in the book, The effect of guilt emerges as one of the major underlying themes. Christie accurately portrayed the different human responses which shoes Guilt is most often what brings a person to repentance.

After reading, I wonder whether the people have got what they deserved, any of the characters were punished unfairly? Does “just behavior” mean that you are a “good” person? Warfield punishing the others for their prior actions but we can‟t telling if he was right or not. In trying to create “justice” he himself became a murderer and unfortunately, nobody could help him.

I n Christie‟s autobiography, she wrote, “It was so difficult to do that the idea had fascinated me…I wrote the book after a tremendous amount of planning, and I was pleased with what I had made of it.” It was seemed to be an near-impossible story, but Christie made it come true.
