"And Then There Were None" is a popular Indian poem that tells the story of a group of individuals who are stranded on an island, each with a dark secret in their past. The poem begins with a description of the island, which is surrounded by the "turquoise sea" and covered in a thick layer of "tropical foliage." The characters are introduced one by one, each with their own unique personality and background.
The first character is a wealthy businessman named Mr. Justice Wargrave, who is described as "haughty and pompous." He is followed by a young and beautiful actress named Vera Claythorne, who is "vain and shallow." There is also a retired army general, a doctor, and a governess, all of whom have skeletons in their closet.
As the poem progresses, the characters begin to turn on each other, suspecting that one of them may be responsible for the deaths that begin to occur on the island. The tension and suspicion build as the body count rises, and it becomes clear that there is a murderer among them.
The poem ends with a twist, as it is revealed that the killer is none other than Mr. Justice Wargrave, who had orchestrated the entire event as a way to seek revenge against those who had wronged him in the past. In the end, there are none left alive on the island, as the killer is also found dead.
"And Then There Were None" is a haunting and suspenseful poem that explores themes of guilt, betrayal, and the darkest aspects of human nature. It is a cautionary tale that serves as a reminder of the dangers of greed, jealousy, and the consequences of our actions.
