After reading The Manuscript, Archie wonders if he’s “really to blame for it all” (153). Does the novel as a whole suggest that he is guilty? Is the blame shared? Compare and contrast the ways each section of the novel address this question of culpability. Cite specific examples from the text to support your argument.
Analyze one of the references to legend or mythology in the novel. Explore the history of the particular legend or myth discussed. How does the allusion to the myth you’ve chosen add meaning to the novel, particularly regarding the way in which Agatha’s own disappearance is mythologized?
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie is full of unreliable narrators with conflicting viewpoints. Are there any characters whose points of view are portrayed as trustworthy? If so, who and why? Does the novel provide the reader with any other tools to aid in Differentiating Fact From Fiction?
