Character's Flaws

Anthony Marston:  He is a bit selfish and only cares about himself.  At the beginning of the book he sang the Indian nursery song and that got on about everyone's nerves.
Ethel Rogers:  She seems horrified all of the time.  At the beginning of the story a thought goes through Vera Claythorne's head after seeing Mrs. Rogers, "Vera thought: 'She looks frightened of her own shadow.'"  She is scared when everyone else is not meaning she could know something she is not supposed to.
John Macarthur:  He jumps to conclusions.  He supposes everyone would die and seems a bit sad.  He tries to enjoy his life and makes others a bit annoyed that he wanted to be alone.
Thomas Rogers:  He cares a bit more than he should about doing his job.  He always works and is often alone at unusual hours.  His safety is not always put first, like he chopped wood by himself in the morning, where he was killed.  If he did not care about waking up and getting up to cut up wood, he would not have been dead at that time.
Vera Claythorne: She is way too surprised at all the problems which occur including with the Indian figures and all the people dying. 
Emilie Brent:  She is much too calm especially after a death has just happened, while everyone else is going crazy.
William Blore:  He has a small imagination and can not think as creative as others.  Also, I think he is too secretive, coming in disguise, and seems unable to be trusted.
Philip Lombard:  He thinks of himself as too high up and better than others.  He tells others about their problems, including about Blore not having an imagination, as well as he does not care about others lives as much as his own.  He let twenty-one people die to live himself.
Justice Wargrave:  He is over controlling.  He acts like in his life he is the judge, not just in the courtroom.  He accuses others as well as himself making him seem partially guilty and the other guests quite angry.
Edward Armstrong:  He is too intelligent, knowing more than others about medicine and what to give ill people or what happened to people to cause their deaths.  Others can not tell these things, so do not always trust him.
