Most often, people have an image in their mind when they think of detectives, whether the image is a man in a trench coat holding a magnifying glass, a beloved childhood character like Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys, or the classic Victorian detective. While all of these may hold true, one specific person comes to mind at the mention of a detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Along with images of detectives come preconceived ideas of what a detective or mystery novel should be or what it should contain. Within the genre, numerous authors have stood out among the others and set their own standard for these works of literature. In The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Doyle employs juxtaposed settings, descriptive imagery, and the symbolism that each convey to establish an immense attention to detail which maximizes the effectiveness of his writing in the genre of detection in this classic Sherlock Holmes story.

I, Sherlock Holmes, have come upon a new case, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dr. Watson and I will be interviewing people to find out what is hanging around the Baskervilles and what killed Sir Charles Baskerville. So far all we have is an old manuscript from 1742 given to us by Dr. Mortimer that tells us about a giant hound lying in the moor killing anybody that steps foot in there, but I believe there is more to this case.(pg.15-18)

The classic mystery novel, Sherlock Holmes, features a murder-mystery detective Sherlock Holmes, and his army doctor colleague Dr. John Watson.

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

While Watson is our narrator he does a good job on the case helping on anything to make himself feel like he is helping on the case. Sherlock lets him believe that he is right and is on the right track. Making him feel good with backhanded compliments he makes a great narrator for people that are not at picking up on clues as easily and/or quickly because we as readers are probably not good at that either. Watson our narrator of the story Hound of the Baskervilles was the best fit for the job of telling us the story from his point of view and lets the reader get all of the info that is necessary so the mystery doesn't become jumbled up. It is important that he was chosen for this role if it was Sherlock it would have been harder to keep up

supernatural. The majority of the book is dominated by people either believing that there is a giant hound that committed murders of a human did. Dr. Holmes is one of the strong believers in naturalism. He refuses to believe that there is a curse of Baskerville and that there is no giant hound responsible for the murders. He exams every set of clues that point to a logical real world solution. Although he still keeps the supernatural explanation tucked away behind his real life scenarios. Holmes keeps the supernatural explanation as a last case scenario. Holmes uses his intellectual' faith and logic, for examining facts to find the answers. He questions everyone who believes in the myth the same questions “What does it eat?” “Where does it hide?” and “Why do we never hear bark or bay?” Watson on the other hand believes that there is a curse and that a giant hound is out there. He uses evidence around to back up his belief in the hound. Throughout the story the common folk are the ones who goulole enough believe in the supernatural. While men like Mortimer and Sir Henry have their doubts about the legend. In the end the common man ends up looking like a fool for believing in the hound. The Hound of Baskervilles themes stress the importance of believing in the supernatural and not but also the social hierarchy in nineteenth century

We learn his real name is actually Rodger Baskerville and had before lived in South America. Once the case of the hound has been solved, it makes sense to end it with just Holmes and Watson talking, because it gives the reader the perspective that they have now returned to their “normal life” and
