I never suspected Stapleton as being guilty of the mysterious happening. However, looking back now his actions were very suspicious. I was thrilled when Holmes arrived back into the story. My Hypothesis was proven correct when Holmes stepped back into the story and brought it to a quick, decisive enduing. I think this is the reason the author kept Holmes out of the story. So that holmes would not reveal too much to the …show more content…
One of the most prominent questions is if Stapleton really died. They never found his body. I feel that their is a real possibility that Stapleton survived. He was an expert on the terrain of the mire. I think their is the small possibility that he could have made his way through the mire in fog. However, I think that if he had survived he would’ve made his way to his hideout. I also wonder if he had been caught would a court have convicted him. I think the whole ordeal would have been very difficult for a jury to believe. In these final chapters I connected with the text in many ways. One of the most prominent was Sir Henry. When the hound was chasing him in the darkness I could feel the fear he felt. I could hardly imagine how terrifying it would be seeing a ghostly, bloodthirsty beast chasing after you. I am sure that I would be terrified and shaken the same way Sir Henry was. This ordeal would be very difficult. As in the Scooby Doo Cartoons I watched as a child, the monster was not a monster, but had a human
Suddenly, a low sound seems to ring through each of our ears, a moaning howl that I heard that I heard on the moor that afternoon with Stapleton. Sir Henry keeps questioning the sound and wondering what the locals say about that sound, but I try to change the subject, finally admitting that it is the howl of the Hound of the Baskervilles. As Sir Henry starts to sound very superstitious about the Hound, we spot Selden just as he seems to realize that he has been found. He took off and ran across the moor, and we chased after him we realized that he had too much of a head start. Standing on the moor, I gaze out into the distance on the moor and spot another tall figure of another man outlines against the moor. But then, a split second later, the man was gone. I am quite interested in who the tall figured man out on the moor was, and who might've been helping Selden. And why Stapleton acts so strange at times, but then covers it up and is all normal again. They are many suspects that I have thought up and a lot of mystery going on at this time Holmes, I wish you were here to investigate along with me. I will check in with you soon with much more information I
The potential murderers for the death of Sir Charles were Barrymore, the butler with many secrets, and Stapleton, the one who chases butterflies. Also Mr.Frankland, from Lafter Hall with knowledge of history, Seldon, an escaped murderer, and even a demon hound in legends. Many did believe it was a supernatural hound because they didnt believe someone would get their hands dirty just to kill Sir Charles. The story began and finished in London at 221b Baker Street. Most of the story, however, took place in Devonshire. Throughout the story, the reader would get subtle hints on how he got killed, but it is very challenging to stick to one character. Who do you think killed Sir

10) Why did the ‘Lynch Mob’ go home? What main point do you think the novelist hoped to make by introducing this episode into the story?
Beowulf is one of the greatest epics from early British literature history we have managed to salvage, and amidst the tales of brave heroes and mighty battles, there lies an interwoven theme of isolation and death. These two plagues to the human mind and body walk together in a correlated marriage within Beowulf’s many episodes. Death is an obvious theme; the alpha and omega of the poem are grandeur funerals (Beowulf, l. 26-52, 3114-3155) and loss is littered throughout Beowulf’s journey. Isolation, however, is a theme that is directly related to the death inside of Beowulf’s world, and needs further examination as to how and why. It seems that the evil creatures that fall to the hands of our mighty hero indulge this theory, but this thematic duo take more than just the lives of the monsters. Isolation followed by death sweeps up innocent characters as well, including Beowulf himself.
In Fahrenheit 451 Clarisse, Montag, and the war make you ask why. Clarisse makes you ask why because she questions not being able read books. Montag makes you ask why because he does many things that are against the law and they should not be. It also makes you wonder why, if you get run over it is not that big of a deal. The war makes you question because it starts for no apparent reason and they lose interest in Montag.
“The Hound! After all the running and rushing and sweating it out and half drowning, to come this far, work this hard, and think yourself safe and sigh with relief and come out on the land at last only to find… The Hound! Montag gave on last agonized shout as if this were too much for any man. The shape exploded away. The eyes vanished. The leaf piles flew up in a dry shower. Montag was alone in the wilderness. A deer. He smelled the heavy musk like perfume mingled with blood and the gummed exhalation of the animal’s breath, all cardamom and moss and ragweed odor in this huge night where the trees ran at him, pulled away, ran, pulled away, to the pulse of the heart behind his eyes.
He chases butterflies and studies the moor and it’s inhabitants. In the book mortimer is a very creepy person and studies humans and skulls. While in the film mortimer is a acts in a more serious manner while Stapleton is incredibly creepy, he asks would you have an objection to me running my finger along parietal fissure? Also he makes more points about Holmes’ skull (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). This ends up making Stapleton a very creepy character for the suspense of the movie. In the book Watson looks up to Holmes with great respect and takes his smallest compliments and appreciates them greatly. Holmes states with great pride, “It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light.” (Doyle 3). By saying this he means, Watson is such a fool that he makes Homles seem even smarter than he is. In the film, however, Watson stands up to Homles at the end when he saves Homles from drowning in the moor pit even though he got shot by stapleton (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). Also, when Watson finds out Holmes has been investigating the case after Holmes told him that Holmes had work to do in london, He was outraged. There is also other small details in the story that do not have a huge effect on the plot but still change it slightly. For example, Laura Lyon does not exist in the film, even though in the book
For instance, my first passage on lines 1-7, introduce Grendel as “A powerful monster, living down in the darkness”. The following lines tell the reader, Grendel “growled in pain” as the godly music played on the harp and “rang loud in that hall”. The last lines of the passage illustrate Grendel’s hate towards the Danes and the “Almighty”. The passage foreshadows Grendel’s wrath towards humanity and the lack of God’s
Things are not what they seem, even the appearance can deceive the reality. It's no wonder the phrase “looks can be deceiving” is so popular. The outside appearance can often be opposing the reality or intention. This situation is investigated in depth in Sir Arthur’s celebrated mystery short-story The Hound of the Baskervilles, where Holmes must decipher the difference between the appearance of the characters and the setting and the actual reality of the situation. In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's mystery novella, The Hound of the Baskervilles, the author uses characterization and setting to assist the development of the theme that appearance can be contradictory to reality.
He is really a wolf in sheep’s clothing, seemingly harmless, but actually evil and bloodthirsty, stopping at nothing to achieve his goal of claiming the Baskerville fortune. In an attempt to murder Sir Charles, Stapleton pretends to be a single, lonely man, falling in love with Mrs. Laura Lyons, a friend of Sir Charles. He therefore acquires complete influence over Lyons, who is at his beck and call, and therefore lures out Sir Charles to be killed by an enormous hound, although this was completely unknown to Lyons, showing that men were seemingly hiding things from women.
The Hound of the Baskervilles written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the movie The Hound of the Baskervilles directed by Jeremy Bret are two works of art that are mainly telling the same story. There are, however, many differences about the book and the movie. Those differences don’t affect the outcome of the story, but they give less impact to the story. Along with the differences there are many similarities, and those similarities give you confidence that it is the same story.
