    If Agatha Christie keeps doing bigger and bigger twists I'm kinda worried the murderer in her last book is gonna be my Dad or something.

  • @skyhideaway

    Ah, you finally guessed one right! I think it was mentioned in the book that Josephine showed sociopathic tendencies since when she was very young, and that's why the grandfather forbade her from attending a ballet class with other children, and also had her homeschooled (instead of taking her to therapy lol). So yeah, i feel like it's a genetic thing, combined with being isolated from other children her age, that kinda awoke these destructive tendencies in such a young child.
    Also YES, Charles is so insensitive at the end? Sophia, get yourself a better man.
    Also, please check out The Secret of Chimneys next! It's a very complicated story with a pretty good twist as well!

    The timing of this video was impeccable. Just this past weekend my roommate hosted a Dungeons and Dragons one-shot that was based on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. She was inspired to do this by your video (which she forbade me from watching, knowing that I am a big fan of yours). It was so much fun to try and solve it with my friends (we were successful!) and then having you release this video the following day was just the cherry on the cake. I watched it with my roommate and now I finally get to watch your Roger Ackroyd video tonight! So many lovely Agatha Christie vibes in my life right now :)

It’s a personal favourite (I know everyone says that) but so so so tricky and impressive. It wraps everything up in a believable (though tricky, as I already stated) way and it did leave me with my jaw on the floor :D

    Sophia has some of the best observations about people. She's quite dispassionate about most things. She admits Brenda is more playacting a tragic flirtation than involved in an actual affair and that women do find Aristide attractive, even though he's "ugly" and old because of his charisma.

      @@emmiereads I had read multiple Agatha Christie’s before this, so I did somewhat deduce it was most likely to fall under a certain ‘type’ of hers, which I class as “a twist for English sensibilities of the time”. Like if you read this as a middle aged English lady in 1949 you’d be shocked! But it doesn’t hit as hard now. Plus I disliked the murderer upon introduction, so I was biased against them the whole time.

    Christie's plots almost always get repeated somewhere down the line. This is an exception, the twist is so ridiculous that it's already a miracle it was made once.
    Edit: It's interesting how Christie often connects outward ugliness to inward ugliness. The characters described as the least pleasant physically can often times be the most vindictive. It's an unorthodox approach which probably has more to do with external social pressures, but it sort of adds depth to superficial features as if the surface level is not just a façade meant to mask anything deeper.
    Actually, now that I think about it, a good deal of her criminals have very petty motives that lack sympathy.

    • @skyhideaway
      @skyhideaway Рік тому +6

      I mean, Agatha Christie also had a lot of murder mysteries where the killer was the charming bachelor or the seductive young lady. I'd say most of her stories had the most picturesque characters as the murderers.
      Though, it is true that outward ugliness was often connected with a bad personality back then, not just with this specific author, but with a lot of stories and even fairytales. It's still a thing in a lot of fiction.

    If you like mystery books I recommend the Flavia de Luce series (the books can be read as stand-alones). Flavia is investigating the murders, and on the surface the books look like Nancy Drew, because Flavia is also a child, but these books are not what they seem. They are so good so beautifully written. Flavia is such and interesting character, she loves chemistry and poisons, and has an old chemistry lab. The books are very smart, gothic, dark and take place is a small English village in the 50s. I recomend them to everyone who loves mysteries 😊

    As someone with a hefty beard and mustache, this is the secret to how you eat and drink with facial hair: confidence and napkins. The confidence is to go ahead with eating something despite knowing it's going to make a mess because dangit, wings are tasty, and then the napkins to clean up afterward.
