The Adventure Of The Speckled Band

In the speckled band the detectives showed a lot of empathy towards Mary as they were her husband’s work colleagues, they also consumed food within the crime scene, which was breaking the rules, therefore with their own mistakes they ate the weapon (leg of lamb) and they weren’t as effective as they should’ve been, whereas they were liable, to being the ones to help destroy the weapon. They were more sympathetic. Comparing that to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who were more dedicated to their work, they prepared carefully inorder to work out the criminal mentality.

In the story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” the author Conan Doyle portrays many different narrative techniques. He uses these techniques to provide meaning for the audience as well as help them visualize the situation that was being described. The different techniques used are narrative discourse, suspense, conflict, close, and focalization in his story. Narrative discourses are events, to describe a series of events that are contingent one on another. Typically focuses on one or more performers of actions. Personal experience can influence narrative discourse due to the explaining of significant events in the life of the narrator. Narrative discourse is made up of exposition/ setting, developing conflict, climax, final suspense, and conclusion. The narrative discourse is being portrait in the story by Sherlock trying to find the mystery. Helen Stoner goes to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson for help on figuring out the mystery of her sister’s death, and they both investigate. It all begins with the renovation that was done to the room. Holmes arrived to Dr. Grimesby Roylott’s home in order to investigate the noise that his daughter seemed to be hearing from the bedroom that the sister was killed in. Holmes describes the room “very strange” he found the ventilator open into another room as well as the bell-rope. The ventilator was the small opening between two rooms as well as the bed was fastened to the floor. “A ventilator is made, a cord is hung, and a lady who

Logic Watson! Give me logic Miss Walden!" Not only was this man rude but he was also bossy; just what I needed in my life. At least his friend 'Watson' is nice enough. I wish they would really make up their minds, was it psychology they wanted or was it philosophy? Clearing my throat I spoke, "How about I get you a both, Sherlock if you don't mind telling me what you need this book for it would be a lot easier to help find you a logical selection." Sherlock seemed surprised to find someone complying so quickly after just denouncing a whole branch of science, one I found some truth in. "Well you see, I'm a consulting detective, the only one in fact, and John and I have a case regarding a man with what I believe to be 'Mommy issues' going around kidnapping single mothers. Please be quick about all of this, we need this information now!" Sherlock described. All the while he's describing this all the pieces are coming together for me, Sherlock, the curly hair, Watson, consulting detective: Sherlock Holmes the main all over the papers lately with that silly hate of

As an investigator, Sherlock Holmes was not guilty for the demise of Dr. Roylott. The story, “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, when in the room of Helen Stoner, waited for evidence for the cause of Julia Stoner’s death. 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. Additionally, Dr. Roylott never ended up dying when trying to kill Julia,

I took a deep breath and swallowed back down my stomach which seemed to have made its way up to my throat. “Sir, there are lots of reasons why the death of Ms. Williams would not be suicide.” Investigator Christensen slowly stood up from his chair and started circling the room. He looked like a vulture, and I was the prey. “At 9:08 am October 16th 2016, 221B Baker street, a woman is found dead in her bedroom. She is lying on her bed, eyes open, a bullet in her head, and a pistol in her hand. Tell me Sherlock Holmes, is that not suicide?” He slams both of his big hands down on the table making the cups rattle and screams at me, “Is that not suicide? She clearly killed herself, Sherlock, you saw the body, you saw the evidence. And yet you question me.” My head is pounding. I throw the chair i’m sitting in behind me and scream, “MURDER!” Everyone is silent and all eyes land on me. “You’re right investigator Christensen”, I say. Now it is my turn to

Doyle is clearly a man of his time through his portrayal of women, focus on innovation, and imperialistic attitudes. In The Adventure of the Speckled Band Doyle depicts women as being venerable and destitute. In The Study Of the Speckled Band, Miss Honoria Westphail was hardly ever allowed to leave the house. As the text says, “Miss Honoria Westphail, who lives near Harrow, and we were occasionally allowed to pay short visits at this lady’s house.”(Doyle TASB 20%). Women in the Victorian Era were given very few options when it came to leaving the private sphere and entering the public sphere. Doyle reflects the ideas of the time here in his showing of Miss Honoria Westphai only being allowed to leave her home on the terms that she would pay a short visit to the house and then return to the house where she resided. These types of social behaviors reflect the attitude that women needed to be protected. In A Study in Scarlet, Lucy Ferrier decided to try and get through a small opening in the herd rather than wait for it to pass, and eased her horse in. once she was amid the cattle, however, she saw how dangerous her choice was. As the text says, “Unfortunately

Quote analysis: Holmes wouldn’t just take a supernatural thing happening as an explanation for his case. This is a testament to how dedicated holmes is, he will exhaust every lead, check every detail before he’s done.

Roylott in The Speckled Band proves Nietzsche’s idea to be true. Roylott is in a conflict with his stepdaughters. He planned to remove both daughters before they get married because under the mother’s will, both daughters will take an amount of money with them when they get married. This angered Roylott because this meant he would have less money. Helen’s sister has died two years ago, shortly before she was about to get married. Helen had heard her sister’s words the moment before she died, “The speckled band!” but she had been unable to understand the meaning. Now Helen, too, is engaged, and she has began to hear strange noises. Holmes listens carefully to Helen’s story and agrees to take the case. Holmes and Watson arrange to spend the night in Helen’s room. Little did they know, Roylott planned to kill Helen with the same method he used on his first stepdaughter. Vivid imagery was used in the climax as they waited in the darkness; “Suddenly there was the momentary gleam of a light up in the direction of the ventilator, which vanished immediately, but was succeeded by a strong smell of burning oil and heated metal. Then suddenly another sound became audible- a very, gentle, soothing sound, like that of a small jet of stream escaping continually from a kettle.” The slight noise and dim light through the ventilator stimulates Holmes to take action. The suspense foreshadows something bad is going to happen. Holmes discovers on the bell cord the “speckled band”, a poisonous snake. Roylott’s actions proves Nietzsche’s ideas to be true because his strong desire for money has corrupted him thus leading him to do worse things such as killing his two

Due to Holmes’ suspicion he and Watson desired to investigate further; they departed to Stoke Moran. They revealed some interesting clues. First of all, the bed was clamped to the floor, there were metallic bars on the windows, along with a forged bell chord attached to a ventilator. Holmes soon found out that the ventilator was connected to Dr. Roylott 's room. This made Sherlock curious, wanting to know more. Helen was a young woman who was frightened of the strong and abusive, Dr. Roylott. She had prearranged to switch places with Sherlock and Watson so they could resolve the case once and for all. She exchanged places after Dr. Roylott was “asleep”. When Sherlock and Holmes arrived to Stoke Moran, they waited and waited. During the middle of the story, both the mood and tone shift. The mood soon became petrified. The tone soon also became something else, challenging. Sherlock Holmes and

He is always asking questions to Helen. He asks her some of the more personal questions like, “‘Was your sister dressed?’” and “‘Was it your custom always to lock yourselves in at night?’”. If he never asked some of those questions, he may not have solved the case. Also, going back to Holmes being observant, he searched Julia’s room and Dr. Roylott’s rooms very thoroughly. He found every detail that most others detectives, probably other than Watson, could not find.
