    The author was showing how paranoid Holmes was when he thought about his dead body. Holmes knows that what he did do his victims was going to be done to him. The author specifically included this portion as a closure to his character, Holmes. He was showing Holmes worries as his end was approaching. Also, this portion tells us how hypocrite Holmes is by not wanting his remains to be examined by scientists but he did the same to his victims when he sold their remains to medical schools. This is significant because the author once again shows that all Holmes ever cared about is himself.…

    Holmes was observant, intelligent and rational, while Watson admired Holmes, yet he was sometimes irrational too. In chapter one, they were examining a walking stick, and made assumptions about the owner. The walking stick contained teeth marks, and carvings of the initial of C.C.H. Watson saw that, and predicted the owner was a member of a hunting club, as H stood for Hunt. After Holmes carefully observed it, he found most of them inaccurate. C.C. stood for Charing Cross, which was a name of a hospital. So he concluded that C.C.H. stood for Charing Cross Hospital, where the stick was given to the owner when he retired from the hospital. Also, in chapter 4, Sir Henry received a strange letter, in which the words inside were all cut out in newspaper.(p.35) Watson couldn 't see the significance of the sentence, while the observant Holmes made many good assumptions from the letter. He recognized that the words were come from the Times of the previous day observed from the kind of ink and paper. He could even conclude that the sender posed to be an uneducated man that the address was printed in rough characters, but Times were mostly read by educated man. Also in chapter 12 p.136, they discovered that Stapleton was the villain, and Watson was being irrational and asked Holmes why they didn 't seize him at once. But Holmes replied to Watson that they couldn 't prove that Stapleton did it, and they had to come up with a plan to capture Stapleton or else he might escape. From all the examples, it showed that Holmes was rational and careful in what he did.…

    However, this description is before the mystery itself as Holmes adds that Reginald Musgrave has changed since the time he saw him at the mystery. He describes him as “dressed like a young man of fashion — he was always a bit of a dandy — and preserved the same quiet, suave manner which had formerly distinguished him.” First, an indirect presentation of external appearance is he “dressed like a young man of fashion,” here readers note from Holmes description, to their own, as it indicates that he still dresses nicely, with a sense of fashion. Again, he presumably wears a suit and tie, since he comes from a higher background of family. Then “he was always a bit dandy,” also describes how he presents a clean sense of style.…

    One of the main reasons for the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes from the time it was written to the present day was the way that all the stories were told through the eyes of Dr. Watson. This showed how incredible Sherlock Holmes was when his own powers of deduction could see a lot more clues and evidence from the same hat as we the reader could see. Also with Watson being the narrator, we are kept in suspense as to what the final outcome is, Holmes can often know this from a very early stage but Watson and the reader still needs him to explain it to us. This leads to a great final scene that often involves conflict between Watson, Holmes and the villain. From Watson's accounts of the mysteries, we can try and interpret the evidence in our own ways and like Watson try to be an amateur detective; this just builds up adoration for Holmes' great work. When these stories were being written, there was a massive increase in the population of London, which caused a great increase in crime in the city, as the small police force couldn't deal with them. This encouraged a renewed interest in the detective genre that successfully showed the two different sides of London. In several mysteries there is a great aspect of humour, this is shown in two major ways. One of them is the story lines, some of them are totally ridiculous, and the other is the incompetence of the police force.…

    Who would have ever thought that the great Sherlock Holmes would be wrong from time to time? Certainly not any fan of the series of stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle's A Scandal In Bohemia proves this to be untrue. A Scandal In Bohemia is a Sherlock Holmes story that is different from most others. This particular tale, contrary to many of the other Holmes stories, does not involve a crime. Even more unusual, Sherlock Holmes is not only wrong about his conclusions and deductions; he is actually outdone by a seemingly sweet and innocent woman named Irene Adler. Throughout the story, Arthur Conan Doyle uses many examples of foreshadowing as well as other literary devices to keep the reader guessing.…
