Essay: In what way does Wargrave demonstrate the weaknesses of each house guest as he repeatedly murders each one? Give 2 examples in your response. Answer: Wargrave knows that each character has a certain, dominant weak trait. He uses these weaknesses to kill each guest in a way that not only the victim but the other house guests would never suspect. For example, Wargrave plays upon Armstrong's weaknesses to ultimately kill him by pushing him off the edge of a cliff. Armstrong is a man who is strong in his belief that a person's social class should define their character. He does not believe that a man of Wargrave's stature would have any wrong intentions, so he gladly agrees to help him fake his death by meeting him at the cliffs one night. This makes it extremely easy for Wargrave to push him off of the edge. Another example of Wargrave's wiicked scheme is when he plays on Vera Claythorne's weakness of character to compel her to hang herself. He knows that Ms. Claythorne is a very unstable, tormented woman who is haunted by guilt. Wargrave places a noose in her room, knowing that it will be a perfect setup since Vera is already very unhappy with herself and shaken by the other deaths in the house.
