And Then There Were None
When we first meet the “ten soldiers,” while they may not have been the best group of people, you don’t necessarily wish them ill will. As their pasts are revealed and their true personalities unmasked, did you feel any sympathy for them as a victim of the situation? Do you think that we, the reader, were predisposed to dislike certain characters more and feel sympathy for others?

I felt for Emily Brent because she didn't actually kill anybody. The judge was really killing her for not agreeing with her morals. If anyone is guilty of the girls "murder," wouldn't it be the parents who originally threw her out? This one irks me. Do I think that she was right to throw her out? No, but we live in a different time then this.
I think that the person we are supposed to feel for, and the author pushed us in that direction, was Vera. Why I'm supposed to feel for her, I don't know, but I could see that was the direction the story was going.
