Abstract

The main point of my paper is the "superiority" of the criminal in Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Judge Wargrave thinks himself extraordinary. He believes that he is superior, and he stands above others. He wants to take the role of God and wants to save the world from unnecessary people. That is why he commits his crimes. I am going to explore the origin of the superior idea, the idea of "men above men". I am going to show that Wargrave's superior idea is false. He is not superior at all, he is simply evil. I am relying on the biblical faith in my thesis. It is only God who can decide the fate of humanity. A man must not place himself above others. He must not act like God, otherwise he fails.
