Agatha Christie writing analysis and criticism

Agatha Christie is the greatest detective author for all ages in all cultures as she is a trademark for detective works all over the world. She was born in15 September 1890 and died in 12 January 1976. She is the leader of bringing detective stories to maturity as since its beginning it was not at that level of excellence. Before her, the classical hero of horror and detective work was Edgar Allan Poe who was the classical writer in that genre. He was independent writer and she was fiercely independent in that field. She wrote many novels that were amusing and human at the same time. She tried to present detective works from literary area with innovative characteristics she added to the classical ones of the age such as making figures such as Poirot and Miss Marble who were her famous tools for discovering crimes and solving problems. She used main rules for crafting the character of Hercule Poirot with his mysterious affairs and styles representing the detective with words and features of classical detection. She made a ground for the characters in her novels to work on with many dimensions and dramatic revelation of truth. She made high emphasis on questions such as how, why and who to interest readers in the plot. Her usage of dialogue was heavy and her description for people and actions was quick and lightening to focus on what the characters want to reveal only. Christie created many interesting caricatures of people we may meet daily and feel them through the story or perhaps have met before as she allows each character to be possible with limiting the degree of exploring them psychologically. Some critics have explained her caricatures to being affected by Charles Dickens who was also indulged in caricatures. She was excellent in portraying places such as restaurants and stations, homes and landscapes. Some critics caught fragment in the conversation of her characters and this helped her make the plot and character clear as the characters fascinated her endlessly. Among her famous novels was Death Comes in the End as in this novel, she could be able to manage judgment of characters and make accurate forays in the processing of some characters. The Mysterious Affairs at Styles was criticized by many critics as being overwritten and full of explanations as the author sheds light on signs of quality and description of the country house that is typical. Although she used to put many murders within the novel, she also used to make many characters that many readers could find it hard to remember their names and roles within the story, this helped her hide the motives of killers and surprise readers with the killer at last when they feel puzzled and doubt everyone in the story. Many authors have come after her in that field and the field of fantacy such as Steven King and J.K. Rolling who are still mastering and leading the field of mystery and secrets in modern literature but this doesn't make Agatha stories and novels be less interesting for worldwide readers.
