Also, Holmes is very deliberate in the way he thinks. He is able to see a small detail and process it into his method almost immediately. Lastly, Holmes is always a detective and is certain he will

Doyle, constructs this hero as a character who is almost completely human, but still fictional. Unlike other heroic fictional characters while he is considered a ‘hero’ amongst many people, his ‘heroic’ deeds are what define his ‘good’ attributes, being his freakish intellectual abilities. However there is a counter-balance to this brilliance, and his own worst enemy is in fact, boredom. He is, at core, more than often concerned of the case itself, rather than the individuals’ involved. His human attributes also involve ‘imperfections’ within the typical hero genre, having dabbled in drugs. Despite this Berg argues that even though Sherlock’s existence has left a positive influence for many figures, and the idea of such a character has had a great impact on human

Sir Conan Doyle is my favorite author. He is the author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Sir Conan Doyle was an author inspired by everything that he interacted with. He would include many of his encounters into his writing. He was a master at creating characters and stories that seemed real through the cultural details in his stories. Each item of his writing embodied the qualities of actual events of the time and the lives of real people. His stories place the reader in the role of detective through the eyes of his charter Sherlock Holmes. Then the reader could determine the outcome of the story from the evidence within the story.

When Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes, the people in London was suffering with the many crimes and the extended distance between the rich and the poor. Also the biggest villain Moriarty was symbolizing the British government, showed that the government was doing nothing for their people.

Most people would agree that Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most famous fictional detective, but people also tend to underrate the role of his agent, better known as his sidekick, Dr. John Watson.

Had it not been for all the people before Sherlock, and there would have not been the crime investigation work we have today. Yet, as a character, Sherlock had an influence on the life's of the people, but not on the way crime work was done. From the advancing technology, to the moment Sherlock Holmes was created, and those before him and leading up to the influence he had all took place during

Sherlock Holmes has been featured in several stories by his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Traditionally, he has been highly regarded for his intellect, nonetheless a multifold of readers question if Holmes has emotions. Holmes' thoughts are a mystery.

When someone mentions the occupation of detective, a single image usually comes to mind, a man wearing a cape and deerstalker, holding a magnifying glass and smoking a pipe. This entire image can be contributed to one character: Sherlock Holmes.
