Quote #1
The little elderly spinster was no longer slightly ridiculous to Vera.
Suddenly—she was terrible. (7.75-76)
Everyone who comes to the island looks pretty harmless, and Miss Brent most of all: aw, she’s nothing other than a little old church lady! But they’re all total Monets: up close, they’re morally a mess.
Quote #2
“I reiterate my positive belief that of the seven persons assembled in this room one is a dangerous and probably insane criminal.” (9.365)
LOL irony. Here, Justice Wargrave is actually referring to himself as the dangerous and probably insane criminal. And oh boy, is he right.
Quote #3
“You’ve admitted, you know, that you don’t hold human life particularly sacred, but all the same I can’t see you as—as the man who dictated that gramophone record.” (10.28)
Even though Lombard is clearly a racist and a bit of a jerk (he did leave a bunch of native men to die), that doesn’t necessarily him evil or a lunatic. We guess. In fact, Vera can even relate to his flawed nature.
