I always knew they was there, I just needed to turn up the heat; I was teetering on the edge of a diving board, secure in the knowledge of my future fandom but biding my time. My childhood, my family, the wiring of my brain – it was all inextricably leading me to 221b Baker Street. And while I knew all this, what I could not have known was the immenseness of the magic that would occur when I finally jumped in.…

    Amid the lapse of both Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock exploits moral tolerances in pursuit of the greater good. Throughout the progression of novel and film, both Ritchie and Doyle utilize Sherlock’s path of destruction to emphasize a prevailing cataclysmic culture and acclimation to violence over time throughout America. Without the use of excessive force, Doyle’s rendition of Sherlock Holmes has no arduousness solving crimes and enigmas through the use of Sherlock’s personal inference, deduction, reason and knowledge. Reflecting the Victorian ages demeanor toward violence Doyle displays Sherlock’s attempts to “avoid scandal” at all costs (Doyle 73).…

    Mustached, military-man and sidekick. No, I’m not talking about Anthony Edwards in Top Gun but I am talking about geese, and more specifically Dr. John Watson in The Blue Carbuncle.

    Sherlock Holmes Hero

    • 3 Pages

    In making the Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle created a hero modern to the times. Holmes, an independent detective, tackles many of his cases with his companion John H. Watson, who, in contrast to heros today, could be considered Holmes’ side kick. Though Holmes does not have the ability to fly or read minds, he has an extrodinary capability in solving crimes with evidence lost on others. In A Case of Identity, Watson states, “You appeared to read a good deal upon her which was quite invisible to me” (The Major Stories pg. 83). This is a recurrent theme in their cases as Holmes always seems to be able to connect the dots with ease.…

    Why would Sherlock Holmes, a man who “loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul” (Doyle 1) still be absorbed in solving crimes, studying clues, and observing society? As the beliefs and morals of society changed over the centuries, the depiction of Sherlock Holmes’s character was continuously modified. Arthur Conan Doyle and Guy Ritchie both captured Holmes’s developing character by building on the Victorian morals of order and class and contrasting them with twenty-first century morals of chaos and indifference. Moreover, Sherlock Holmes, an antisocial man, demonstrated order in society during the Victorian era by regularly willing to use logic and not fists when investigating crimes.…

    I choose this passage because it left me rather flabbergasted because in what I have learned about Sherlock in the last few weeks is that he’s rather childish, and with being childish he tends to be more asexual and not interested in women, but here, he is getting married. I think that I will be able to work with this passage because it shows a lot of difference and similarities between the characters Holmes and Watson. This passage aids the reader in describing Watson as a very sarcastic guy, with the line, “No,indeed!” I could easily link this text in a comparison of…
