Ten little Indians order of death?

Answer 1

It helps to remember that in this play, each death follows the rhyme. In the rhyme the first one choked (Marston dies from a drug in his drink), the second overslept (Mrs. Rogers died in her sleep from poisoning), the third got left behind (Makenzie gets stabbed in the back on the balcony), the fourth gets chopped in half (Mr. Rogers was killed with an axe while chopping wood), the fifth is bee-stung (Emily Brent dies by hypodermic syringe), the sixth gets in chancery (Wargrave "dies" by gun-shot to the head and is dressed up to look like a judge), The seventh is "swallowed" by a red herring (Armostrong falls from the cliff into the sea - and everyone believes he is the killer and faked his own death), the eigth dies by bear (Blore dies when a bear clock falls from the roof and smashes him), the ninth dies by gunshot (Vera "shoots" Lombard but misses, then when Wargrave enters as the killer Lombard shoots and kills him), and the tenth dies by hanging (Vera would have been hung by Wargrave had Lombard not shot him - instead, Lombard puts his head in the noose as well and kisses Vera, changing the end to be "we got married and then there were none")
