Sherlock: A Short Story Of Clifford Roberts

Furthermore, Sherlock Holmes is seen to deliver justice, further alleviating society’s fear of the unknown, providing comfort with response and reassurance. After his acceptance of Mr Hilton Cubitt’s case, Sherlock proceeds to gather evidence and decode the language of the dancing men, a skill that allows him to later lure and deliver the perpetrator of the crime. Following this, the inspector is able to arrest Abe Slaney and deliver justice to the crime, possible through Sherlock’s deductions. Justice is further achieved as accusations against the innocent Elsie subside, accredited to Sherlock as he states, “it was only my presence here and the knowledge which I happened to possess which has saved her from the accusation” (Doyle 46). The

Sherlock Holmes of 221B Baker Street had lived alone for quite some time. The girl who lived in the basement had stopped coming home from America, his flatmate had married and moved to the countryside, and dear Mrs. Hudson had died a short time later. Her funeral was the last time Sherlock had seen John Watson, and neither had made any attempt to reconnect. Their days of detective work were far behind them now.

In the Sherlock Holmes stories “The Red-Headed League” and “A Scandal in Bohemia” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle explores mysteries through the eyes of Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes’s assistant. Holmes is able to amaze the people around him with his deductive abilities and can quickly determine aspects of a person’s life by just looking at them. This allows him to solve mysteries that others cannot wrap their heads around. He uses his skill to first help the King of Bohemia recover a picture of him with a former lover. Next, he investigates the disappearance of the Red-Headed League. In both of these mysteries he experiences a unique challenge due to the intelligence of his opponents and the unusual situation surrounding the case. The cunning and cleverness of Holmes, Irene Adler and the conspirators of the Red-Headed League are shown in the stories “The Red-Headed League” and “A Scandal in Bohemia”.

Sherlock knew that, just when things were bad enough, in come something else to rock the situation. In addition, he learned to “give every man thy ear” which means to imply that he should pay attention to others too about what they say. He also knew that a lie could travel around the world before the truth would get its pants on. He couldn’t think of anything

Finally, Dr. Watson is paralyzed by the hound but he shot his gun anyway. Watson and Sherlock Holmes were proving the murderer with a big plan including many characters. The detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Watson were protecting Sir Henry from the grim hound. They both saw it and were shook as seen in, “‘...my [Watson’s] mind was paralyzed by the sight of the dreadful shape… Homes and I both fired’...The giant hound was dead.” (102-103). Watson was terrified of the horrid shape of the hound. Even though he was truly terrified of the animal, he still fired his gun not allowing himself be ruled by his fear over the great hound that was after the baronet.

When I was younger, my friend introduced me to the world of Sherlock Holmes. I fell in love with the energy and intelligence of the renowned detective and it spurred my passion for mystery solving.

(Doyle, 1902, Pg.). In the quote we see a excited Sherlock as he finally is gaining the rush of a challenging opponent. Sherlock is known for this as most regular heros see a challenging opponent as bad thing, while Sherlock sees it as fun. Sherlock is also acknowledged for his partner and friend Dr. Watson who is the narrator of most of the Sherlock novels. Throughout The Hounds of the Baskervilles we see Sherlock and Watson together.

Sherlock Holmes has been a prevalent character in popular culture since his creation. Recently he has been revived in such adaptations as the Sherlock Holmes movie series, Elementary on CBS, and BBC’s Sherlock. The iconic detective, followed closely behind by his companion John Watson, solves crimes just in the nick of time leaving us breathless from suspense and awed by his deductions. With Holmes portraying the proverbial white knight there must be an opposing force for him to triumph against. The notorious and nefarious James Moriarty is this opposing force. He is described as a spider in the center of a web, controlling everything but staying hidden in the shadows.

Where are these attacks coming from, and why? The innocent people of London are being found dead without a drop of blood. Lucky for you I have everything you need to know and what to expect for the future. There has been 4 deaths that are all tied somehow and we don’t know the cause. The bad news is that if we don’t find the source, then we can’t prevent anymore of these attacks from happening. The good news is that we have the world's best detective, Sherlock Holmes is on the case. Luckily we got an interview with him and he gave us some additional knowledge of the mysterious killings. We have all you need to know all in one article. We cover everything from the victims, to causes and clues, to solutions and suspects.

Chess, a game that requires strategy, patience, precise calculation, and careful planning. These skills sound familiar, though. A set of skills that we all know Sherlock Holmes possesses. We have witnessed it many times. Whether it be through our new favorite show, Sherlock, Game of Shadows, or A Study in pink, multiple times Sherlock has surpassed our expectations of both intellectual and physical ability. It seems unnatural to witness a person, a person just as myself, possess such amazing qualities. Therefore, it is only fitting to incorporate a game such as chess, where we get to witness Holmes put his skills to use once more, continuing to baffle and astonish his viewers (even if he is merely a character).

Holmes had the conclusion that "doctors make the greatest criminals". In the book "The Adventure of the Speckled Band", Holmes investigates a murder of a twin. Her sister in great fear of her life, finds Holmes with the help of a friendly neighbor and explains her sisters death to him. The story highly intrigued him. Holmes agreed to investigate her death. Miss Stoner, the frightened sister, believes that her stepfather, Dr. Roylott, is responsible for her sisters death. Dr. Roylott was not favored by the public but was a very wealthy man. Capable of having access to unordinary methods, and techniques for, murder. With knowledge of things the average man wouldn't have, he is a fine candidate for a suspect.

This excerpt from the story may reveal to show that Sherlock Holmes is very open- minded and confident about his work at all times throughout the story. But in my opinion the passage reveals that Sherlock is very self-reliant and observant. Sherlock points out all the problems about the note that was sent to Sir Henry and he also put out the many possibilities to make himself seem reliable. After all the claims that Holmes made, he puts out the conclusion, “Did the composer fear an interruption -- and from whom?" This shows that he relies on his own power/ position more than anyone else because after all the detecting he knows that he can get down to the main point.

Watson is amazed by Holmes’ talent in this respect and proclaims that “the stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoned, when he became a specialist in crime. ” Both characters are capable of resolute thinking and action, while simultaneously retaining an eye for detail as well as their inherently good manners. They both seem to enjoy the thrill of the game, as evidenced by Holmes’ amusement when, disguised, he is asked to be the witness to Adler’s marriage to Mr. Norton, and Adler’s cheekily wishing Holmes a “goodnight” disguised as a young

Arthur Conan Doyle’s legacy rests heavily on one Victorian creation: the character of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes's attitude of intelligence and originality continues to keep fans inclined and fascinated ever since the Victorian era. Holmes persists as remakes and reincarnations of the Sherlock character keep the mastermind relevant. While the modernization of Sherlock creates a personal connection between the reader and Sherlock in “A Scandal in Belgravia,” the BBC adaptation dilutes Sherlock’s character from a distinguished genius to a mere detective.

Since the beginning of time, the contradiction between good and evil has been present in all stages of life. Everybody is capable of having good and evil in their lives, is just a great part of what defines a human being. In the books of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, there are many villainous characters that are constantly forcing this detective to go out of his way and offer a more honorable sense of justice. Specifically, Professor Moriarty, as is known as the most mysterious, popular and clever of all the corrupted characters of the novel. Sherlock Holmes is often considered as the other side of the coin, the good to Moriarty’s evil, revealing that these two traits can come in any shape or form.
