Abstract
Detective fiction, the sub-genre of crime fiction, has always provoked an intense interest among the readers and served them as a leisure activity, especially the works of Agatha Christie known as the “Queen of Crime.” Since many scholars, critics and academics tend to focus more on the figures of Agatha Christie’s most famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple and less on her fictional villains, this master’s thesis deals with different portrayals of male and female murderers in the... More selected novels of Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Lord Edgware Dies and Appointment with Death. The paper offers an insight into the historical and social context of interwar Britain, specifically from 1918 to 1939, in order to understand the period in which the novels were written. The changes after the First World War were also reflected in shifting or renegotiating traditional gender roles, especially those of women who began to participate more actively in the male-dominated English society. This thesis aims to analyse how Agatha Christie’s male and female murderers both conform to and challenge gender norms, revealing the complex interplay of power, gender identity, and societal expectations in the context of detective fiction during the interwar period.

Abstract (croatian)
Detektivska fikcija, podžanr kriminalističke fikcije, oduvijek je izazivala snažan interes među čitateljima i služila im kao oblik razonode, posebno djela Agathe Christie poznate kao “Kraljica krimića.” S obzirom na to da mnogi učenjaci, kritičari i akademici često više pažnje posvećuju najpoznatijim detektivima Agathe Christie, Herculeu Poirotu i Miss Marple, a manje njezinim fiktivnim zlikovcima, ovaj diplomski rad bavi se različitim prikazima muških i ženskih ubojica u odabranim... More romanima Agathe Christie: And Then There Were None, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Lord Edgware Dies i Appointment with Death. Rad nudi uvid u povijesni i društveni kontekst Velike Britanije između dva svjetska rata, posebno u razdoblju od 1918. do 1939. godine, kako bi se razumio period u kojem su romani napisani. Promjene nakon Prvog svjetskog rata također su se odrazile u pomicanju ili pregovaranju tradicionalnih rodnih uloga, osobito uloga žena koje su počele aktivnije sudjelovati u engleskom društvu kojim dominiraju muškarci. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je analizirati kako muški i ženski ubojice Agathe Christie istovremeno slijede i izazivaju rodne norme, otkrivajući složenu interakciju moći, rodnog identiteta i društvenih očekivanja u kontekstu detektivske fikcije tijekom međuratnog razdoblja.
