Watson scanned the anonymous letter and the note was written by a red-headed man with a wooden leg, three children, and a starving mother in

But Watson said that this could be the beginning of another dull and in penetrable mystery fraught with danger. They started to baffle thinking about the unknown person named “Mr. X”. Lady and Lord Monacle also received the anonymous letter from Mr. X threatening to slit their throats with a breadknife and also to expose their son who is involved with a common girl.

    In Conclusion, I think all of these facts are enough evidence to prove my statement of Sherlock. So the three main reason why Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing are. First of all, Sherlock let the thieves go after committing a crime. Seconded of all, He blamed the innocent plumber who had a family to look after. Third of all, Doing something and getting away with it could make you do it again since you got away with it. So I believe Sherlock Holmes did the wrong…

    Imagine stuffing a carbuncle down a striped goose and a few days later someone else takes the same goose with the same stripe on the back! Both a stole the goose and the jewel. Will the other person go to jail? Or will you get arrested and go to jail? Will the detective set them free? Yes! Sherlock Holmes sets both free! But for stealing a jewel and a goose? In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes positively made the wrong decision by letting Ryder and Catharine free. That means, Sherlock Holmes also broke the law!

    H.H. Holmes proved his madness in his design of his hotel near the World's Fair in Chicago. He had a litany of evil deeds that would take a lot of lives of innocent people. Holmes’s personality is perfect for someone who could be able to commit murder, someone with, “dark hair, and striking blue eyes” (35). On the surface H.H. Holmes seemed to be a productive member of society. Born and raised in the small state of New Hampshire, he turned his fascination with the human body into a career when he graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1884. Wealthy, well-educated and refined, the young doctor moved to Chicago where he became the owner of a drugstore, and eventually opened a hotel. His design of the building reflected Holmes’s desires to hide bodies, and clothing within the basement of the building to cover his crime. Later, the building was destroyed as a death chamber. Holmes wanted his hotel, “just comfortable enough and cheap enough to lure a certain kind of clientele and convincing enough to justify a large fire insurance policy” (85). He was a total lady-killer. Holmes knew how to make women feel special and knew how to use the greater liberalism of the time by carefully, gently flouting convention, which women away from their homes and families desired: "He stood too close, stared too hard, touched too much and long. And women adore him for it." (5). Even after he was discovered women defended him: "Holmes, she swore, had a gentle heart. He adored children and animals. He was a lover of pets and always had a dog or cat and usually a horse." (6). Holmes could create the appearance of normalcy and charm, despite what slaughter and brutality lurked beneath his lie. He also broken the usual rules that concern how to deal with women in public places, but “women had adored him for it.” (36). His sort of deception would be the first one of his evil deeds; his lustful will for women and his control over them. People…

    In the story of The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, Sherlock Holmes is a Static Protagonist. Sherlock is the leading man through the story so that makes him the protagonist. Sherlock does not change through the story. The reason why Sherlock is a static character is because of the type of story that he is in. The Adventure of the Cardboard Box may have strong characters but that is not the main focus of the story. Sherlock Holmes stories are about the mysteries. Most of the characters in Sherlock’s stories are stereotypes which makes it easier for the reader to grasp the story and where in time the story takes place. It also makes the character of Sherlock Holmes stand out in comparison.…
