When both men traveled to the room of Dr. Roylott, they saw that Dr. Roylott was dead, with the speckled band-the deadliest snake in India- wrapped around Dr. Roylott’s head. The cause of Dr.Roylott’s death was not Sherlock Holmes’s accountability. Dr. Roylott had knowledge about animals from India; therefore he should have been able to control the snake.

Power is the one thing that makes the world go around and that is evident in Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”. Within the story, there are two ways that the characters can receive their power, through their knowledge and from their ability to obtain money. Power is affected by a few factors that either make it more difficult to obtain power or make it easier to use ones power. How one reacts to power and obtains their power is affected by factors of gender and agency, by whether they have old money and new money, and through what kind of knowledge one has or how much knowledge one has.

The short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Man with the Twisted Lip,” is based on disguises of wealth and appearance and how these disguises change the point of view that people have in the social classes and what they think about each other during the Victorian Era. Disguises can be used to create an identity for one’s own personal gain or to protect an individual 's identity. Neville St. Claire uses disguise to validate his place as a gentleman. His status as a beggar allows him to become the successful gentleman that he should be, by concealing his true self to the social class system. Sherlock Holmes uses his persona as a protection to keep the people of London safe and out of harms way. Between the two personalities of St. Claire and Holmes is the outcome of what others may think of them; St. Claire knows the identity that he has created is not accepted by the social class while Sherlock Holmes identity is seen as a hero and is accepted by the social class. One uses his disguise purely for monetary gain and the other uses the identity in order to solve mysteries and protect his city. As shown in the “The Man with the Twisted Lip”, disguise is only allowed when the social class accepts the identity.

In Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventure of the Speckled Band there was an unusual crime, a reasonable solution, and the mystery fooled me; these things made the story very entertaining. The mystery started out with a woman, Helen, speaking to Holmes and Watson. She told them about her stepfather and his interest in foreign animals. Helen also spoke about how her sister, Julia, died of (what seemed like) fright, and she mentioned a whistling that her sister told her about. It didn’t seem like there was a crime, and this why it was unusual. Then the detectives, Holmes and Watson, decided to investigate the house in which Julia died. They found a vent, a leash, and a bowl of milk, and Holmes was almost positive he had the answer to Julia’s death.
