Arbiter of Morality: Hercule Poirot as Judge and Philosopher in Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express

Description

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is one of the main novels that explore 
the Humane Nature where it shows that Morality won’t abide by the Law all the times. In this 
paper, it particularly analyses how Hercule Poirot acts as a Arbiter of Morality, where he 
understands the sense of morality without the lens of Law. Christie portrayed the raw emotion of 
how a hurt heart and mind leads someone to go into their ways though it’s a crime. This paper 
examines Poirot’s decision making process and his philosophical views of right and wrong.
