This is an excellent representation of what the passengers on the train had to do to conceal their true identity. They worked together and each person had to complete two parts in the murder of Mr. Ratchett. The white mask represents the role in which the character had to act innocent as if they knew nothing about the man or the murder. The black mask represents the person's role in the murder and could be called their "violent side". There are two masks because each character is not entirely innocent or entirely evil. They are kind people that had great anger against this man and their resentment triggered a new side, the black mask, to surface.
