The nature of detective novels in general and the uniqueness of the detective Poirot as a character are outlined, followed by the presentation of Propp's narratemes. In this research, Vladimir Propp's narratemes - understood as recurring, genre-specific structure elements of the plot - are evidenced in two successful detective novels by Agatha Christie.

The popularity of detective stories may result from the attraction of the hero, the entertaining thrill of the plot or the comforting power of the overall message which promises that evil will be defeated in the end: there is always someone able to fight it and determined to do so. ![]()
