Agatha Christie’s characters are usually “well-to-do-people”. Often the comfortable lifestyles of her characters are faced with financial problems, a possible cause for the murder. The character that appears innocent and least likely to commit murder is frequently the murderer in her novels. Society is not blamed for the crimes committed within the books.
Hercule Poirot is one of Christie’s most famous detectives. He is the base of many of her novels. He loves the luxurious life and is a very routine type of individual. He has a very big ego and believes that everyone knows his name. He is known to be impatient, opinionated, and very direct towards others. When Poirot solves his crimes, he likes to sit back quietly and think, but he is not afraid to snoop around into other people’s business.
Jane Marple is another one of Christie’s detectives. She uses people that she knows from a village to network her way into figuring out who the murderer is. She is of older age and the methods she uses only work for a woman like her. She draws parallels of village and city life. If Christie created Marple younger than she probably would not have been able to solve the crimes that she did.
Hercule and Marple’s character is the base of Christie’s novel. Most of Christie’s major works include one of these two characters. The plot is created around them. The crimes they solve are built so that they can solve them. The type of individuals and crime solvers they are is the base of every novel that they are in.
