Miss Marple is an elderly spinster who acts as an amateur detective and lives in the village of St. Mary Mead. She has been portrayed numerous times on screen and is one of the most Miss Marple in of Christie's creations. Her first published appearance was in issue of The Royal Magazine Miss Marple in December with the first printing of the short story The Tuesday Night Club which later became the first chapter of The Thirteen Problems Her first Miss Marple in in a full- length novel was in The Murder at the Vicarage in Miss Jane Marple is an elderly Miss Marple in who lives in the little English village of St. She looks like an ordinary old lady, dressed neatly in tweed and is frequently seen knitting or pulling weeds in her garden. Miss Marple sometimes comes across as confused or "fluffy", but when it comes to solving mysteries, Miss Marple in has a sharp logical mind, and an almost unmatched Miss Marple in of human nature with all its weaknesses, strengths, quirks and foibles. In the detective story tradition, she often embarrasses the local "professional" police by solving mysteries that have them stumped. The name Miss Marple was derived from the name of the railway station in Marple, on the Manchester to Sheffield Hope Valley line, at which Agatha Christie was once delayed long enough to have actually noticed Miss Marple in sign. The character of Jane Marple in the first Miss Marple book, The Murder at the Vicarageis markedly different from Miss Marple in she appears in later books. This early version of Miss Marple is a gleeful gossip and Miss Marple in an especially nice woman. The citizens of St. Mary Mead like her but are often tired by her nosy nature and how she seems to expect the worst of everyone. In later books, she becomes more modern and a kinder person. Miss Marple never married and has no close living relatives. Vicarage introduced Miss Marple's nephew, the "well-known author" Raymond West. His wife Joan initially called Joycea modern artist, was introduced in in The Thirteen Problems. Raymond tends to be overconfident in himself and underestimates Miss Marple's mental powers. She has a niece called Mabel Denmanwho doesn't appear to be a sister of Raymond's. Mabel appears in the short story The Thumb Mark of St. Miss Marple stayed with her in A Murder is Announced. Miss Marple is able to solve difficult crimes not only because of her shrewd intelligence but because St. Mary Mead, over her lifetime, has given her seemingly infinite examples of the negative side of human nature. No crime can arise without reminding Miss Marple of some parallel incident in the Miss Marple in of her time. Miss Marple's acquaintances are Miss Marple in bored by her frequent analogies to people and events from St. Mary Mead, but these analogies often lead Miss Marple to a deeper realization about the true nature of a crime. This education, history, and experience are hinted at in the Margaret Rutherford films, in which Miss Marple Miss Marple in her awards at marksmanship and fencing although these hints are played for comedic value. Christie wrote a concluding novel to her Marple series, Sleeping Murderin She locked it away in a bank vault so it would be safe should she Miss Marple in killed in The Blitz. The novel was not published until shortly after Christie's death insome thirty-six years after it was originally written. While Miss Marple is described as 'an old lady' in many of the stories, her age is never mentioned. Excluding "Sleeping Murder", forty-one years passed between the first and last-written novels, and many characters grow and age. Miss Marple in example would be the Vicar's son. At the end of The Murder at the Vicaragethe Vicar's wife is pregnant. In The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Sideit is mentioned that the son is now grown, successful and has a career. The effects of aging are seen on Miss Marple, such as needing a vacation after an illness in A Caribbean Mystery or finding she can no longer knit due to poor eyesight in The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. Although popular from her first appearance inJane Marple had to wait thirty-two years for her first big-screen appearance. When she made it, the results were found disappointing to Christie purists and Christie herself. Murder, Miss Marple in Saiddirected by George Pollock was the first of four British MGM productions starring Dame Margaret Rutherforda magnificent comic actress but too boisterous and loud to fit the prim and birdlike character Christie created in her novels. This first film was based on the novel from Paddington U. McGillicuddy Saw! In the film, Mrs. McGillicuddy does not see anything because there is no Mrs. Miss Marple herself sees an apparent murder committed on a train running alongside hers. Likewise, it is Miss Marple herself who poses as a maid to find out the facts of the case, not a young friend of hers who has made a business of it. It is interesting that Joan Hickson played the part of the home help in this film so can claim to have appeared in two Miss Marple series. Rutherford, who was 70 years old when the first film was made, Miss Marple in that she wore her own clothes during the filming of the movie, as well as having her real-life husband, Stringer Davis appear alongside her as the character 'Mr. The Rutherford films are frequently repeated on television in Germany, and in that country, Miss Marple is generally identified with Rutherford's quirky portrayal. Each of the Margaret Rutherford "Marples" is wonderfully entertaining, but they simply aren't Christie. Lansbury's Marple was a crisp, intelligent woman who moved stiffly and spoke Miss Marple in clipped tones. Unlike most incarnations of Miss Marple, this one smoked cigarettes. Sue Grafton contributed to the screenplay of the former. Hayes's Marple was benign and chirpy. American TV was the setting for the first dramatic portrayal of Miss Marple. Joan Hickson played the lead role. Coincidentally, Hickson had played a cook in the first film in which Margaret Rutherford played Miss Marple. These programs, which are actually a set of 12 feature-length TV movies rather than a TV series in the usual sense, followed the plots of the original novels more closely than the previous film and television adaptations had, and Joan Hickson has come to be regarded by many as the definitive Miss Marple indeed Agatha Christie herself once remarked years earlier that she would like Joan Hickson to play Miss Marple. Starting inITV broadcast a new series of adaptations of Agatha Christie's books under the title Agatha Christie's Marpleusually referred to as Marplewith Geraldine McEwan in the lead role until her retirement after the third series. She will be replaced with actress Julia McKenzie. The adaptions are notable for changing the plots and characters of the original books e.
