He didn’t think about her as a person, he thought about her as an object that he could get with, thinking, “He’d rather like to take her on.” Lombard wasn’t thinking about whether or not she would “fancy him,” he was only thinking about whether or not he would be able to get with her as his personal gain. It was selfish to rob those people of their lives, when he had the opportunity to spare their lives and only take the little food and water it would have taken him to get by.Īnother example of Philip Lombard's selfishness is when he started to think about Vera Claythorne when he first saw her. Lombard treated these people like they objects, as if they had nothing to lose, but he had everything to lose. Instead of just taking what he needed to get buy, he stole everything from them and left them there to die. The gramophone announced, “Philip Lombard that upon a date in February, 1932, you were guilty of twenty-one men, members of a West African tribe.” Obviously this act against another group of people was selfish because he raided a tribe of twenty-one men for himself. During the first few hours of them being on the island a gramophone record was played, exposing why each of the inhabitants of the island were now exiled and left to die there. Philip Lombard was beyond a doubt was one of the most selfish on the island. And because of the actions of everyone on the island, it lead to justice being served. In Agatha Christie’s novel, And Then There Were None, two people who were most deserving of death were Philip Lombard and General Macarthur because of their selfish acts against others however Emily Brent was least deserving of death because she did not actually murder anybody, unlike the others on the island. ![]()
