Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Agatha Christie's "The Secret Adversary" centers on plot and character, not modern identity politics. Identity factors like race or gender are not artificially inserted, and protagonists develop through action and wit, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The novel upholds early 20th-century values, portraying traditional gender roles and British culture without revisionism. It sticks to its time's conventions and doesn't subvert core cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to no overt ideological messaging. The book simply reflects its era, and dissenting or alternative views are presented as expected in a classic whodunit, not caricatured or villainized.
