In An Autobiography, Christie states, "I was still writing in the Sherlock Holmes tradition – eccentric detective, stooge assistant, with a Lestrade- type Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Japp".[3] For his part, Conan Doyle acknowledged basing his detective stories on the model of Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin and his anonymous narrator, and basing his character Sherlock Holmes on Joseph Bell, who in his use of "ratiocination" prefigured Poirot's reliance on his "little grey cells".

At the Villa Rose and predates the first Poirot novel by ten years.

His Belgian nationality was interesting because of Belgium's occupation by Germany, which also provided a plausible explanation of why such a skilled detective would be out of work and available to solve mysteries at an English country house. At the time of Christie's writing, it was considered patriotic to express sympathy towards the Belgians,[5] since the invasion of their country had constituted Britain's casus belli for entering World War I, and British wartime propaganda emphasised the "Rape of Belgium".

Agatha Christie found Poirot "insufferable", and by 1. Yet the public loved him and Christie refused to kill him off, claiming that it was her duty to produce what the public liked.[8]Appearance and proclivities[edit]Captain Arthur Hastings's first description of Poirot: He was hardly more than five feet four inches but carried himself with great dignity.
His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military. Watch Bride Of Frankenstein Online (2017). Even if everything on his face was covered, the tips of moustache and the pink- tipped nose would be visible. The neatness of his attire was almost incredible; I believe a speck of dust would have caused him more pain than a bullet wound. Yet this quaint dandified little man who, I was sorry to see, now limped badly, had been in his time one of the most celebrated members of the Belgian police. Agatha Christie's initial description of Poirot in The Murder on the Orient Express: By the step leading up into the sleeping- car stood a young French lieutenant, resplendent in uniform, conversing with a small man [Hercule Poirot] muffled up to the ears of whom nothing was visible but a pink- tipped nose and the two points of an upward- curled moustache.
In the later books, his limp is not mentioned, suggesting it may have been a temporary wartime injury. In Curtain, Poirot admits he was wounded when he first came to England.) Poirot has green eyes that are repeatedly described as shining "like a cat's" when he is struck by a clever idea,[1. In Curtain, he admits to Hastings that he wears a wig and a false moustache.[1. However, in many of his screen incarnations, he is bald or balding. Frequent mention is made of his patent leather shoes, damage to which is frequently a source of misery for him, but comical for the reader.[1. Poirot's appearance, regarded as fastidious during his early career, later falls hopelessly out of fashion.[1.
He employs pince- nez reading glasses. Among Poirot's most significant personal attributes is the sensitivity of his stomach: The plane dropped slightly. Mon estomac," thought Hercule Poirot, and closed his eyes determinedly. He suffers from sea sickness,[1. Death in the Clouds he states that his air sickness prevents him from being more alert at the time of the murder. Later in his life, we are told: Always a man who had taken his stomach seriously, he was reaping his reward in old age. Eating was not only a physical pleasure, it was also an intellectual research.
Poirot is extremely punctual and carries a pocket watch almost to the end of his career.[1. He is also particular about his personal finances, preferring to keep a bank balance of 4. As mentioned in Curtain and The Clocks, he is fond of classical music, particularly Mozart and Bach. Methods[edit]In The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Poirot operates as a fairly conventional, clue- based and logical detective; reflected in his vocabulary by two common phrases: his use of "the little grey cells" and "order and method". Hastings is irritated by the fact that Poirot sometimes conceals important details of his plans, as in The Big Four. In this novel, Hastings is kept in the dark throughout the climax. This aspect of Poirot is less evident in the later novels, partly because there is rarely a narrator to mislead.
In Murder on the Links, still largely dependent on clues himself, Poirot mocks a rival "bloodhound" detective who focuses on the traditional trail of clues established in detective fiction (e. Sherlock Holmes depending on footprints, fingerprints, and cigar ash). From this point on, Poirot establishes his psychological bona fides. Rather than painstakingly examining crime scenes, he enquires into the nature of the victim or the psychology of the murderer. He predicates his actions in the later novels on his underlying assumption that particular crimes are committed by particular types of people.
