Hound Of The Baskervilles Essay

The Hound of Baskerville The Sherlock Holmes novel The Hound of the Baskervilles written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a very unique story, but just how unique is it? The series Doctor Who originally created by Sydney Newman, C.E. Webber and Donald Wilson contains many of the same elements our famous detective’s story has. The series Doctor Who is the story of an advanced alien time traveler known as The Doctor. Throughout the series The Doctor goes through time and space accompanied with his companions solving countless cases; this is similar to the way Sherlock and Watson go about London. Just as Sherlock obviously outshines Dr. Watson our Doctor Who’s companions suffer in equality as well. The Doctor is commonly seen as an ordinary looking man, the same goes for Sherlock, but the abilities within these two beings are truly inimitable.
Holmes share very similar qualities. During Sherlock’s case he encounters an issue with two of his three major leads on his case. He was unable to find newspaper remains at the hotel dumpster that were suspected to have be used for making a threating letter to Sir Henry saying “As you value your life, or your reason, keep away from the moor“. Sherlock responded to this situation of not finding the newspaper remains dramatically saying “there is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you”; surely not everything was going against him, The Doctor seems to also respond to counteractions similarly. In season five, episode seven The Doctor encounters an issue where two of his companions, Rory and Amy, are caught in a trap that causes them to fall into a slumber, and each time they awake in an alternate reality. The Doctor handles this situation with panic and doubtfulness, he does succeed in the end but for a being with such power he seems to lack faith in himself at times, as does Mr. Holmes
