In the beginning they describe and tell something about each character who plays in the story. The story is told in many short chapters. In the end it´s about the murder who has to be solved by a detective The main theme of the book is romance, murder and detective, because everything is about the love of Linnet Ridgeway and Simon Doyle and everybody who is jealous or just going the same way (over the Nile). I don’t recognise others or myself in these characters. He’s a big and square and incredibly simple, boyish and utterly adorable. Simon Doyle: he is the fiancé of Jacqueline de Bellefort. First everybody thought that Jacqueline was a very nice girl, but when Linnet marries to Simon she follows them everywhere. Jacqueline de Bellefort: she is already for a long time a good friend of Linnet Ridgeway till Linnet Ridgeway steals her fiancée, Simon Doyle. Joanna Southwood: she is a good friend of Linnet Ridgeway. Hercule Poirot: he is a very clever Belgium detective with an egg-shaped head and a black moustache. In the beginning she is in love with Charles Windlesham, but then she meets Simon Doyle and she falls in love with him and he with her. She is very rich because her mother was the daughter of one of those millionaire blokes. Linnet Ridgeway: She is a young and very beautiful girl. In the book it isn´t mentioned in wich time it all takes place. Most of the story takes place on the Nile. I don´t see any links between her live and things that occur in the book. She became famous because of her crime stories with Poirot. Author: Agatha Christie (Agatha Mary Clarissa Frary Miller) was born on September 15th 1890.
