Abstract

There are many kinds of literary formulas. One of them is the literary formula of the classical detective story. This formula is very popular among the readers and writers of the Golden Age of the classical detective fiction. Many classical writers use this formula in making their mystery novel about detective fiction. A well-known classical detective storywriter such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie used the formula very well. Cawelti later on packages this classical detective story literary formula in a book entitled Adventure, Mystery, and Romance. In this book, he discusses the details of the classical detective story formula. This thesis uses this book as a basis of the theory to analyse the literary formula of Agatha Christie's classical detective story, The A.B.C. Murders . It is one of her famous Hercule Poirot series. Through a detailed discussion of the situation, pattern of actions, characters and relationships and setting, which is formulated by Cawelti this thesis proves that The A.B.C. Murders has a unified plot of the classical detective story. This is why many people up to now call Agatha Christie as “the Queen of the Detective Story”.
