//And Then There Were None//
__**Character Sketch**__

Who is Mr. or Mrs. Owen? Ten guests are invited to Indian Island for different reasons. Some are there to visit old friends, a few on business, and one heard of a party from a friend on the island. They all believe they're here in vacation,but finds out that they've been lured to the same place for a reason. Accusations leak out and three guests die, but no one knows who Mr./Mrs. Owen is. It's a mysterious case and there is no where on the island Mr. or Mrs. Owen could hide. It is just the guests on the concealed on the small piece of land. They are afraid and suspicious about each other, but all come to the same conclusion. One of them is Mr./Mrs. Owen.

Mr. or Mrs. Owen could be anyone. Captain Lombard and Mr. Blore seem sneaky and very sleek. Emily Brent is calm and collected in all situations while Vera Claythorne is emotional and frightened. Mr. Rogers is the good, obedient butler and Dr. Armstrong is a calm dependable doctor. Mr. Justice Wargrave is deadly calm in all situations and is always keeping to himself except when they all speak about the sudden deaths and accusations. He is a very collected man in the whole mess which is why I believe that he is Mr. Owen. Wargrave is very observant of the others and always speaks in a low, calm, sour voice. He was the first person to make assumptions and make connectionswith the name U. N. Owen as UNKNOWN on page 56. Wargrave doesn't give away any hint of anger or sadness, but sounds very impatient. I think he wants his plans for the guests to happen quickly so he could get off the island. Along with being calm, Wargrave was also a judge. This is said on page 1. He is very well known for sending the guilty to death. He might have heard of the deaths that the guests were accused of long ago, but were not punished. He will bring them to justice by killing them off, one by one.

Besides being a judge, he also has a very persuasive voice. In the court room, if the case is a hard decision for the jury and if Wargrave knew that the person is guilty for the crime: he will persuade them into the choice he wanted. Wargrave was accused for a murder of an innocent man at a case, but can not be proven guilty because it is his job as a judge and the jury had chosen the final decision. With his persuasive voice, he can easily convince the other guests to do and think what he wanted them to do next. This is a very big advantage for him because if they ever thought he was the murderer, Wargrave could simply lead them away from the thought and pin it on someone else.

To know who would do what and how they would die is a very hard job. To know what that exact person would do next, you would have to observe them long and careful. Mr./Mrs. Owen would had have to know what type of personality each one of his guests had. For example, Captain Lombard is a very sly man. He would pick something dangerous, but quick to get out of. Mr. or Mrs. Owen would have taken a long and careful thought of how each guest would react to certain conversations and such. Anthony Marston liked parties and drinks. Owen might have thought about this and made the last glass cup tinted with poison at the bottom to kill him first and see how everyone else reacts. Then, Owen knew that Mrs. Rogers was a frail, frightened woman and was capable of fainting or having a strong reaction to the recording of the accusations and would have her die the next day. "He knows, you see, a great deal. And out of his knowledge concerning us, he has made certain definite accusations." This is quoted by Mr. Justice Wargrave on page 58.

The main goal of Mr. or Mrs. Owen is to bring justice to those who did not receive punishment for what they wrongly did. Each guest that was invited to Indian Island had committed some kind of murder. Vera Claythorne had tried to save a child from drowning, but couldn't save him in time because she wasn't watching. General McCarther had sent a soldier out on a death mission for a secret love affair he had with his wife. Captain Lombard and Anthony Marston didn't care about who they killed. Emily Brent said the death of the other woman was not her fault because the woman had killed herself. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers said the doctors came too late to save their employer. Mr. Justice Wargrave and Dr. Armstrong had said that it was his job and that the patient came too late. They all had excuses or were never caught. The recording of all the accusations is clear that they were there to accept justice and be killed. This quote on page 42 gives a hint. "Ladies and gentlemen! Silence, please! You are hear by charged with the following indictments..."

The million dollar question is "Who is Mr. or Mrs. Owen?". It can only be one of the guests on the island. There is nowhere else for another person to hide and complete the tasks with perfection. I believe that Mr. Justice Wargrave is Mr. Owen and that he knew what every guest had done. Because he is a judge, Wargrave will want fairness brought to those who had committed a crime. In //And Then There Were None//, all the guests will have to figure out who is the murderer before they are killed.
