An Analysis of the Main Charracter Through Inner Conflict Toward Personality Development in a Novel
Analysis

Based on my topic and my thesis statement which are inclined to the comparison of the setting in the two novels, they are, “ Sherlock Holmes: Two Plays” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and “ Live and Let Die, A James Bond Adventure” by Ian Fleming, I have found and analyze some evidences that related to my topic and my thesis statement above. In this research I would like to connect the theory of N. Scott Momadav with the comparison of these two novels. N. Scott Momadav said that the sense of place is very to most writers, and I want to prove the existence of this theory in the novel, I will start from the first novel( Sherlock Holmes novel). Sherlock Holmes is a story about detective who have a smart thinking in reaviling every case that he faced. In this story has told that the setting was hapenned in the end of nineteenth centuries, and the main character ( Sherlock Holmes ) did his case in London, the great capital was a rainy foggy city, where the police often have difficulty in catching criminals. As the theory of Momadav said before, this story consist of the prove that support Momadav’s theory, like the first scene of Sherlock Holmes novel at the first setting’s explanation, told that “ the inside of Wilson’s shop, it is a little shop, with a lot of clocks’ pictures, watches etc ”. I think that it has strong connected with Momadav’s theory, I think the writer wanted to describe clearly about the setting in order to invite the readers to feel the setting, and also the second scene, the writer told that, “ The office of Pope’s court-a room with only a table and two chairs. Duncan Ross, a men with very red hair is sitting behind the table. We can hear the noise of a lot of people out in the street ”. The writer also told the spessific setting ( at the page 6 ) when Watson ( Holmes’ Partner ) said “ it’s the morning chronicle of 27th April, 1890 ”. I think that the writer also told the historical and the geographical setting, actually, I guess that

    Larson uses imagery to contrast the “clangorous Chicago” to “Holmes’s claim of lordly heritage,” which illustrate an dark ominous events in Chicago. This contradicts to why someone so “charm and smooth manner” would live in a unpleasant city, where overpopulated people and distracting noises were strain daily. Though “so unusual” in a haunting environment, readers can make distinctive comparison between Holmes and the disappearance of people in Chicago. However people such as Emeline, ignored the minor and concentrate on Holmes’s “extraordinary” well being and nobility. Larson express Holmes from “an English heritage” to make readers visualize the generous side of Holmes, but also grasp the terrors he planned.…

For instance, towards the end of the story, during his state of confusion after he woke up, he felt pain that he had not ever felt before and thought that it must mean it was the end and said to himself ‘’I am going to die’’ (p.164). This statement shows that he accepts that his life will end here and he will not try to fight it in any way in order to continue surviving. In addition to this, after he realizes where he is and what happened, Ruth came to check on him and asks him why he did not leave beforehand like she told him to in the letter she left him.

    Sherlock Holmes is a very strange man. He is a detective who can solve a mystery without even seeing what seems to be like too much evidence. His ethics are very interesting. He believes that murder cases turn out to have very complex ways of happening. He does not believe in the solar system, which the narrator thought was very weird. His decision to join the case to help was a just decision, because without him the case wouldn’t have been solved correctly.

    To be a “witch” all you have to do is be popular, poor or rich, and have some kind of drama with someone else. In Salem, if something out of the ordinary happens the people of Salem automatically blame it for it being the devil. Most likely, this was the first generation of people because everyone only looked towards God and there mostly was not different opinions. Reverend Parris is one of the only people in the story that wanted it to not be true it was witchcraft because it could affect his reputation. But, for some people they wanted the reason for all of what is happening to be witchcraft. Mrs. Putnam is the cause for the blame of witchcraft among the characters in the book because she has internal conflict going on in her life.…

    It was well documented in his Biography that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his character, Sherlock Holmes on his teacher and mentor, Doctor Joseph Bell, a surgeon that Doyle studied under at Edinburgh University (Hodgson 4). We can see another influence on the stories written about “the great detective” in the works that came some 50 years earlier from the American literary critic, poet, editor and writer Edgar Allan Poe. In his own writing, Doyle commented on Poe’s work, specifically mentioning his detective character Dupin in A Study In Scarlet, the first short story to feature Doyle’s character Sherlock Holmes. In it, Dr. Watson, tries to complement Sherlock Holmes, comparing him to Poe’s detective from Murders in the Rue Morgue: "it is simple when you explain. You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe 's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist out of stories" (30). But Doyle also goes on to point out that the talents of Poe’s character Dupin were not quite on par with the great detective when Sherlock Holmes points out “Now in my opinion Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of breaking in on his friend’s thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour’s silence is really very showy and superficial. He has some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine” (30). In other words, Dupin was ok but he’s “an inferior fellow” (30) not at the level of “the great detective” Sherlock Holmes (Hodgson).…

    Edgar Allan Poe’s character Dupin was looked fondly upon by Sir Arthur Doyle, so much so that Doyle based aspects of Sherlock Holmes off this timeless crime solver. The Hound of the Baskervilles was written by Sir Arthur Doyle and published in the year 1901. Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “Murders in the Rue Morgue”, was published sixty years after Doyle’s famous work of literature. The key to any famous mystery are the characters and the crime itself. Without these two elements there would not be a worthwhile story.…
