Question

In The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, the author presents a detective who goes about

systematically ‘solving’ a murder mystery through the use of logic and order.Do you agree

with his statement? Comment critically.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given statement is true because the writer Christie didn't go in the detailed version of the murder victim and lengthy descriptions of murder grief rather talked more about the clues that led to solving the murder mystery. Secondly the clues are discovered or disclosed in a particular sequence, exploring one clue after the other, making the mystery finding very logical

Answer 2

The logical course taken by the detective was entirely objective and can be considered.

• Poirot uses pure, logical logic, whereas other characters who profess to use logic launch their explorations from a position that is subjective or biased, meaning that they never hit the reality.
• The rational approach of Poirot to crime resolution is purely objective-he considers everyone as an outsider and a suspect.
• He does not allow himself to be disturbed by his subjective feelings, and emotions do not mislead him in this way.
• Inspector Raglan, also believed that when he compared them to the fingerprints of everyone else in the building, the fingerprints he discovered on the murder weapon must have come from a stranger, but Poirot knew they may have come from Ackroyd himself.
