Who Is Sherlock Holmes A Round Character

Sherlock Holmes is a round character. There are multiple facets to his personality. For example, he is very observant, but he is also modest when it comes to his talents. When Holmes explains how he followed Watson’s train of thought during his reverie, Watson is amazed. Holmes says in response, “It was very superficial, my dear Watson.” It can also be assumed that Holmes doesn’t like to be alone. While dreaming of going on a vacation, Watson says about Holmes: “Neither the country nor the sea presented the slightest attraction to him. He loved to lie in the very center of five millions of people, with his filaments stretching out and running through them, responsive to every little rumor or suspicion of unsolved crime.

After making some observations overlooked by the police, Holmes believes that the ears are from two murder victims. After questioning Miss Cushing, Holmes decides that he wants to see her sister. A doctor tells Holmes that Miss Cushing’s sister is extremely ill, and refuses to let Holmes see her. Holmes seems unbothered by this, and the author describes him saying “Well, if we can’t we can’t,” cheerfully. It is rather odd that Holmes seems so calm after seeing two mutilated ears he believes were sent to Miss Cushing by a murderer. The story ends with Holmes saying “I did not wish her to tell me anything. I only wanted to look at her. However, I think that I have got all that I want. Drive us to some decent hotel, cabby, where we may have some lunch, and afterwards we shall drop down upon friend Lestrade at the police station.” Holmes seems confident, so I assume that Holmes and Watson will solve the case and catch the
