Haven't read it, Haven't watched it, I just think Agatha Christie is now under-rated by people who want to be trendy and think that ACs work is beneath them when in reality if I wasn't for her we probably wouldn't have a lot of the books that appear in our Bookshops today
u should , I think its pretty insightful , it does look at many issues of that time, and generally the story is quiet good , I have an essay on it based on the issues and I think its one of things that made me get interested in social issues.
AC is deffo under-rated these days and honestly its very shameful and stupid. personally when something is good I cant say its not, AC is great and no one can deny it .
Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's best, I've always felt. Social issues abound in AC. You guys mentioned Death on the Nile: Spoilers!! Simon's love of materialism leads him to marry rich Linnet, in order to enjoy her wealth that would eventually come to him. Jackie's huge passion for Simon leads her to murder her one-time best friend Linnet - so she can keep Simon, who refuses to remain poor. Linnet - the girl with everything; looks, wealth and brains - doesn't hesitate to snatch her best friend's fiance, after promising Jackie to help them. Not to mention the American lawyers who seek to use the fact that Linnet's on her honeymoon to get her to sign papers unaware. Cordelia - everyone feels so sorry for her, but she's sure she's having a wonderful time! Is she right? Social commentary: the young socialist who's actually an English aristocrat, the well-mannered young man with the nice mother (who with his cousin is earns his living as a jewel thief), etc.
