Character Trait - A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie

I would like to share a little bit about the character Letitia Blacklock, the owner of the crime scene. Miss Blacklock is a nice old lady, she's about 60year old who always dress up neatly, she is polite yet calm and smart, which makes her even more special in the story. I choose her because she's one of the most important characters in the story, her calm and intellegence also make her a critical helper for the case.

I don't actually admire her, I have only read the begining of the story, I guess a character needs to something more special to make me admire her. I don't think I am similar with her, but there are things that I would like to learn from her. The politeness and the calm of her are two very posotive elements that I want to improve on, and I am working on it.

Though she's a very great character, I think the story will be better if she can change a little bit, she's to calm and decisive, how can a 60yar old lady still be able to stay calm and take control of the whole situation when there is a guy just got killed net to her and she was almost dead too? This is almost impossible. She should be scared and freaked out for the early of the event, I guess that would make the story closer to reality.

The story is very interesting, I can't wait to see what is going to happen on Miss Blocklock ~

  1. Looks like this old lady Miss Blocklock is a really good person with fine manners, but as it happens in detective stories, calmness can be fake, like good manners. Agatha Christie can masterfully muddle up stories and also a virtuoso to find a way out of any situation. Just like you, I was intrigued by Miss Blocklock
