This paper aims at studying Agatha Christie’s viewpoint on Akhnaton’s three policies in Akhnaton. The first policy is the radical political and religious reformation. As a result, he succeeded in weakening the power and wealth of the priests of Amon, but failed to convert Egyptians to monotheism from polytheism. Christie emphasizes Akhnaton’s disregard of the advice and warning of Nefertiti, Ay, and Horemheb. The second policy is his innovation in arts. These examples include roofless and open temples dedicated to Aton, Akhnaton’s Hymn to the Aton which embodies Aton’s essential attributes, relief works describing Akhnaton’s family as deities, and other aspects of Amarna culture such as unconventional court dress and daily ceremony of Akhnaton and Nefertiti riding a chariot. Christie shows that the second policy declined as the first one failed. The third policy is his diplomatic policy. Whenever an ally in crisis asks for reinforcements, Christie reveals Akhnaton’s passive measures to uphold peace and brotherhood result in territorial loss. Therefore, Christie dramatizes the bright and dark sides of Akhnaton’s three policies in a balanced manner while depicting Akhnaton positively on the whole in Akhnaton.
