This episode again explores the moral issues. Unlike Curtain, Poirot has a very different stance. He said, "You people! With your kangaroo jury, your kangaroo justice! You had no right to take the law into your own hands!...The juries and executioners, they elect themselves! No, it is medieval! The rule of law, it must be held high and if it falls you pick it up and hold it even higher! For all of society, all civilized people will have nothing to shelter them if it is destroyed!"
I wonder how he changed from so reluctant to not turning the murderers in to murdering someone himself.
The acting by David Suchet is so subperb! The look in his eyes, the shivering, all little details give away what Poirot thinks.
I didn't know that Poirot was a Catholic. Then would he go to hell for killing someone? Would he be forgiven as he did it for goodness sake? I wonder.
