Murder On The Orient Express: Agatha Christie


What your smoking



Justice and Judgement




Theme: Morality VS Law 

It is evident that both law and morality serve to channel our behavior.
Law accomplishes this primarily through the threat of sanctions if we disobey legal rules.
Morality involves incentives: bad acts may result in guilt and disapprobation, and good acts may result in virtuous feelings and praise.



Story






Poirot is drawn

Poirot challenges the passengers to shoot him with a gun, since he is the only one who can expose their plot. Passengers can lie, but Poirot obsessed with truth and balance cannot. 
One of the passenger grabs the gun and tries to kill herself. The gun is unloaded. Poirot wanted to see how the suspects would react.
Poirot concludes that justice is impossible in the case, as Ratchett deserved death for the first time, he will have to live with a lie and imbalance
