General Macarthur In And Then There Were None By Agatha Christie

238 Words1 Page

General Macarthur in And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie isn’t as guilty as some of the other characters. General Macarthur’s crime was that he sent a man to war knowing that he was going to die, because he had an affair with Macarthur’s wife. I don’t think that Macarthur was completely innocent, but I don’t think he deserved to die. He was a general, which probably means that he helped the military, and helped protect his country. Also, he knows that what he did was wrong, and he even accepted that he was going to die, which most people would not be able to do. An example of this is when he says, “We're not going to leave the island … None of us will ever leave … It's the end, you see – the end of everything …”(129). In addition,

Being reminded of his guilt 24/7 causes his his health to deteriorate to the point of death, possibly alluding to the fact that the wages of sin are death.

    Nineteenth century poet Walt Whitman lived and wrote in a fascinating time period and changed the literary world, all while experiencing a unique American war first hand. A humanitarian as well as a writer, Whitman volunteered as a nurse during the Civil War where he experienced the horrors of mortality, yet felt spiritually content afterwards as well. His frequent interactions with the wounded and sick would further alter his poetry and life, in a way where he would be able to cope with his time spent among the battle. Traumatized by the aftermath of the brutal war, Whitman used his writing as a reflection of his mind and life as his involvement in both the depravity and nobility of human existence absorbed into every aspect of his spirit.
