Reading this I believe that Christie wanted the reader to learn about taking the law into ones own hands. These people had all committed murder, but can never be brought to court to face charges. Wargraver takes the law into his own hands by setting up an island so that he could have free reign at killing each one of them. The situation is completely up to the reader to judge in moral context. Does the fact that they got away with murder make it all right that they themselves are murdered? Or is eye for an eye justice too much and should they all have been put in jail for the rest of their lives? Also I believe that she was exploring into the range of human emotions.

When she enters her room she hallucinates she is back at the place she let the little boy drown. The window is open and the smell of the sea causes her hallucination. The wind blows out the candle and she feels something cold across her neck. She screams and everyone but Wargrave runs upstairs. They find that is was simply a piece of seaweed that was across he neck, but when they return they find that Wargrave dressed like a judge and has been shot in the head, according to Dr. Armstrong. Later that night William Blore hears footsteps in the house. When he investigates he finds Armstrong is missing. Blore and Lombard search the area for him but find nothing. When they return to the house, another one of
