And Then There Were None Character Analysis

The servant social class includes the butlers, the Barrymores from “The Hound of The Baskervilles” and the Rogers from “And Then There Were None” and they are thought to be stereotypical, but also unassuming characters. While Mr. Rogers looks like a taller, older gentleman with more respect, Mr. Barrymore appears like a younger, more handsome person with a black beard and pale, distinguished features. Agatha Christie describes Mrs. Rogers as a respectable, pale woman, with light eyes and a shadow like physique, “She looked like a woman who walked in mortal fear.” (Christie 21). Because Mrs. Rogers is portrayed as an extremely emotional, empathetic character, she looks out of place in her social class, although her husband is portrayed as stereotypical.
