Why Anthony Marston SUCKS

In the passage, And Then There Were None, ten main characters played a role as victims

on an island. As they introduce themselves they then appear to be the average thriller victims.

Especially Anthony Marston who plays the role of the rich young adventurer.

Anthony Marston is the Rich one of the group. With a beautiful car and dashing looks

Anthony Marston could be anyone else and it wouldnt change. As Agatha Christie writes on

page 21-22, A car so superlatively beautiful that it had all the nature of an apparition. At the

wheel sat a young man.. In the blaze of the evening light looked, not a man, but a young god..

Including the fact that he was the one who wanted to stay to figure out the case, to be adventures.

Marston was such a stock character that he was first to die.

Out of each ten stock characters, Anthony Marston, with his dashing looks and car rich
but free willed tendencies is the overused stock character in And Then There Were None.
