| Vera Claythorne in the 1945 film adaptation. |
 |
| Vera in a post-traumatic state after the relief from all the pressure in the island (right before her death) |
Description:
She first comes off as a shy and timid woman but she's actually one of the most capable/intelligent characters in the story. It's revealed that she suffers from attacks of hysteria because of her past(that's later revealed by the gramophone accusations).
Accused of:
During the gramophone accusations, she's accused of deliberately letting a boy (Cyril Hamilton)drown to death in order to let her lover inherit the estate. But instead her lover somehow finds out about what she did and abandons her.
Death by:
Soon after the gramophone stops playing, she tells them to turn it off repeatedly (showing signs of her guilt). And she gets all hysterical about and after a while she finally calms down. Later on, her and Lombard grow closer together only to be torn apart by suspicion. Finally, Claythorne is able to reach for the gun first and kills Lombard and then in a post-traumatic state (caused by her past and the island murders) she hangs herself while asking Hugo Hamilton (her lover) is this what you wanted?
"One little Soldier Boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none."
Wargrave's Confession:
Wargrave's letter reveals that after Claythorne hanged herself he went and kicked the chair to the side for her and then killed himself with a complicated wire contraption.
