There are ten main characters in the book, that are all invited to an island and slowly killed one by one. The murderer I think is satisfying a need of power over others. I think the murderer is trying to bring justice to all the people on the island becuase they all comitted murder and got away with it. The other nine people are showing a need for survival by trying to figure out who the murderer is before they are killed. Why do you think the Justice Wargrave was so sure that Vera would kill herself, and why did Justice Wargrave make the whole rig to have the revolver shoot him if he wrote the confession?

How could killing a person be satisfying the need for power over? Would killing a person really bring them to justice? Couldn't you just find evidence that would prove them guilty of the murder that they got away with?
I think that the unknown murderer also is fullfilling the need for fun. I think the killer wanted to try killing someone...to see if his/her own brain was more powerful than others. Obviously they are insane, but do not present that way. When you read Agatha Christie, you always say..after the fact...oh yeah, I should have seen that. What clues should you have put togther. Were you as smart as the author? MRs.G
yes it would bring them to justice. The whole point of the book is that he is killing people who are immune to the law. Which means that there is no evidence to prove them guilty so the only way to bring them to justice is to kill them. And the killer was kind of crazy
I think you might be right that he is also fullfiling a need for fun. I think i should have known that someone would fake thier death, I know i would
I think I know why Vera killed herself, she might have known that she would be found guilty of the murders because she was the only one left alive and didn't want to serve time in jail or because she just couldn't bear to stay on the island alone with possibly someone else there waiting to kill her. The reason Wargrave killed himself was because he knew the court system and didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison or possibly executed and he felt it was better if he killed himself instead of the other possibilities.
