How Does The Hound Of The Baskervilles End

Entering the office and showing Holmes and Watson an 18th century manuscript, Dr. James Mortimer tells the myth of Hugo Baskerville. Hugo captured and imprisoned a young country girl at his estate in Devonshire. He then became the victim of a hound of hell as he chased her along the lonesome moors late one night. Ever since that day, James Mortimer reports, the Baskerville family has been haunted by a mysterious and supernatural black hound. The recent death of Sir Charles Baskerville has brought back suspicions and fears. The next of kin, Holmes and Watson find out, has arrived in London to take up his post at Baskerville Hall, but he has already been intimidated by an anonymous warning note and the theft of a shoe.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson arrive at the hotel in London where Sir Henry is staying. They find Sir Henry very mad because another boot was missing. He said the first boot that had been taken away had been put back, and a second old black boot was now gone. None of the hotel staff knew anything about this. They also discussed who the person following Sir Henry could be. The only person they know at Baskerville Hall who has a black beard is the butler, Mr. Barrymore. To figure out if Mr. Barrymore is at home, they decide to send him a telegram and to deliver it in person. If he is not there, the telegram would be returned to the sender. Sherlock Holmes then says that Sir Henry needs a bodyguard at Baskerville Hall. He said that Mortimer is too busy to be able to do that, and he says that he is too busy with commitments so tells everyone that Dr. Watson will go with Sir Henry to Baskerville Hall. As they try and figure out more clues about the case, they get word that Mr. Barrymore is in Devonshire because he was there to receive the telegram. Also, the cab driver who Sherlock Holmes had sent for earlier comes to their door. He tells Homes that the bearded man who he had driven around claimed to be a detective. He had told them to say nothing to anyone. Strangest of all, the man had claimed to be named “Mr. Sherlock Holmes”. Holmes is very surprised and also amused.

Conan Doyle creates mystery here by using the weather and other various methods to make the reader imagine the setting. Words like 'grim', 'gloomy', 'foggy' and 'dull' help to make the Moor more of a mysterious atmosphere. Baskerville Hall is an isolated place with few people that live in the same area. Conan Doyle helps to establish the Hall and the Moor as places of mystery before Watson and Sir Henry gets there because of the information that Doctor Mortimer gives them. He tells them about the death of Sir Hugo: "Tore the throat out of Hugo Baskerville.

At a simple glance, it becomes obvious that everything in this universe is created for a reason—creators always have a goal of leaving their signatures. Literature, like any other branch of art, has a goal; authors and poets have a purpose for writing their pieces. Novels are usually the reflections of people’s lives and hope to make readers feel connected to the plot. Two novels Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and Sherlock Holmes: The Hounds of The Baskervilles have elements that reflect the different components of real life. Both have characters that bear resemblance to people who live near us in society, which highlight the unpleasantness of some realities in our world. Also, like many other writing pieces, they are written for the

The ending was not predictable. The author made it seem like Edmund was dead along with all of the others on the hill. Not once did the author talk about anyone escaping the ambush.

The book doesn't explain much of the plot. It basicly just drops you into a story with no explanation. Just from memory Sherlock and Watson live in London on Bakers St.

As the novel ends, I'm left with a sense of surprise that there isn't more information on what happens to the narrator. Throughout the novel, you follow the narrator on quite a journey. Well, two different journeys. The suspense builds as the storyline progresses, and then we are left with an ending that doesn't give closure. Patricia Welch agrees, "This ending frustrates expectations of closure." (55) This is somewhat disappointing; however, this leaves room to imagine an ending through our own eyes.

I heard the click of a cocking pistol. “It’s coming! Look out!” cried Holmes. Lestrade and I turned around quickly and held our weapons tightly in our hands. Sir Henry described to me how this hound looked like, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. I couldn’t even begin to describe this hound. Its eyes were shining brightly in the moonlight. Its back was arched, and its head hung low, like it was stalking its prey. Drool dripped from its mouth as it let out a low growl. As Sir Henry sprinted across the moor, we could hear his screams. I knew it was a terrible idea to use him as bait from the beginning, but I was the best option. As we crept between the trees, we tried to angle our weapons at the chest of the hound. Sherlock took
