Character Changes

In the beginning of the novel, most of the characters are excited for their new trip that they get to go on. Some have feelings of excitement or eagerness as they are ready to finally get a week to relax and enjoy their selves, but that quickly changes. Along with them being excited, many of the guests are confused with who is the host who invited them all to the island. They start to question how they all ended up there, but when they start to ask questions, somebody dies and the atmosphere changes to worry and fear. This leads the characters to start to lose trust in people around them and lose their judgment abilities of other people. Characters no longer believe what other people tell them and lose their sense of perception of reality.  For example, one of the guests decides to hang herself because she has totally lost her sense of perception and has no idea what is going on. Everything had already been set up for her to hang herself and because the next death in the poem was to die that way, she lost her mind and followed the trend.

                              

At the same time, the murderer is always planning and deceiving everyone right from the beginning of the novel, right up until their death. Because of his hidden identity, as in character, he is also excited for the trip to start, then shocked and confused with fellow guest dying.
