Who Was Responsible For Dr. Roylott's Suicide

The snake is harmless, minding its own business and is no threat to Margaret but she goes on to attack it because she had been told by Miss Laing that they are dangerous. This is therefore like the anti-German propaganda fed to the British public during the war. There are also biblical links in the relation to the snake as Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil in the form of a snake in Genes. Now Margaret has been tempted to disobeying Miss Laing.

The reason why Dr Roylott murdered Julia was the intention that he would gain money which shows his greediness and the extent he would go to to get what he wants. Also, when he meets Holmes he treats him with hostility and bends a "steel poker" into a curve and throws

The author’s diction heightens the intensity and power the snake brings as it also aids in describing the inner thoughts of the protagonist. When the main character saw that the snake was “waiting for him”, he “stopped short” and the snake continued to “[hold] his ground”. The snake created anticipation as he completed these actions, therefore causing the man to feel curious and uneasy. Like a “live wire” the snake “drew his head back,” preparing to strike, this action seemed effortless and almost as if it was a “mechanical reflex”. The reptile is seen as being extremely lethal due to its quick and natural reflexes. Snakes similar to this one are born with the same instinct as their hominid adversaries; to survive. The diction in “The Rattler” effects the tone that is understood by the audience. Detail is another key factor when trying to convey the deeper meaning within the narrative.

The quote we chose is on page 99 and it is: “A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically.”

Roylott had trained the snake to travel through the ventilator and down the bell chord, onto the bed to kill the person sleeping inside it.

Fatal snake attacks in Australia have risen from 2 to 5 deaths in 2013. The controversy with this is however is that these

The author portrays the snake as calm and intuitive with an approving tone to get the acceptance of the reader. When the man finds the snake, it was waiting to see the man’s “intentions” in “calm watchfulness” . It did not even start “rattling yet”. The snake wanted to see what the man would do. It did not want to attack first without knowing whether the man was going to.

Throughout the man’s dilemma, the rattler is always calm and relaxed. When first spotted by the man, the snake’s head was “merely turned … To watch what [the man] would do.” Many snakes would feel threatened just seeing a human; this rattler is only wary, and reacts with dignity. He does nothing to the man, not even rattle, until he is physically threatened. The rattler “[sees] the hoe” in the man’s hand, and yet, still does not feel the need to attack, which helps the reader to sympathize with the snake because he does nothing wrong. Eventually, after the rattler is killed, the snake’s “jaws gape and snap once more,” signifying his defeat and last-ditch effort to fight. The rattler’s final snap reminds the readers that he is a wild animal; he was not born with the self restraint shown in his interactions with the man. To expect the rattler to bite the man in the beginning would not be farfetched, as wild animals are unpredictable. Readers sympathize with the snake’s final moments because he was solely respectful to the man. His respect is much more than could be expected of him, but his life is still taken. How the snake acts throughout the story makes readers feel sorry for him, as well as his

After Tanker was found, Becky Jones said the snake “was very angry and very hungry.”

Sherlock Holmes, by nature, is quite bold and he is willing to face any challenges in the way of justice. In “A Scandal in Bohemia” he throws himself into a mob to get the attention of Irene. He usually confronts violent murderers and people with better physical structures, for example: Dr Roylott from “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, intrepidly. In fact, Sherlock possesses above average physical strength and he once unbent the half bent fire poker with sudden effort in “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”. As Dr Watson mentions during the conversations in “The Five Orange Pips”, he is a boxer and swordsman. Moreover, in “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, Sherlock fought off the deadly snake with a cane, showing he is a versatile combat expert.

Sherlock was hired to protect Helen Stoner because she was petrified of being killed like her sister Julia. Had Sherlock not been on the case, Helen would have been murdered due to Dr, Roylott. Because of this, Sherlock knew he had to prevent her killing. Upon investigating he found a plethora of items that pointed toward

The “garter snake killed those hunters” is true, however the garter snake did not directly kill the hunters, the newts had adapted to a higher toxicity level that would help prevent them from being eaten from the garter snake. The garter snake forced the newts to increase its toxicity level, to allow itself to survive, however with this high toxic level, it is very lethal to humans. So this is why the “garter snake killed those hunters”, because it forced the newts to increase its toxicity level which was lethal to those hunters.

Sherlock Holmes was guilty of the death of Dr. Grimesby Roylott. A conclusion as such can be reach after reviewing and analyzing “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes agitated the swamp adder, which led to it attacking Dr. Roylott. Moreover, Dr. Roylott had no reason to believe that the snake vary from routine, nor that it would attack him. Even more, at the end of the story while explaining his deductions to Watson, Sherlock Holmes admitted that Dr. Roylott’s death would weigh on his conscious. Physically, Sherlock’s action of whacking the swamp adder is what caused Dr. Roylott’s demise.

Cole (Holden Goyette) asks the two whether the snake has a red or black tail because if it had a black tail then Dylan was fine. However a red tail meant that the snake was a Black Widow Maker, meaning that not only was it poisonous but that the poison would take effect in seven to ten minutes. Both insisted that the snake had a red tail, which led the four boys into panic and survival mode.
