He thought it would be unsafe. Dr. Mortimer was the one that told Holmes about the savage dogs. Sir Henry Baskerville was wealthy member of the Baskerville family and was coming to visit from Canada.

    The readers are relieved of such a thought when the old bookseller visits Watson to sell books, but then reveals to be Holmes in disguise. Then, Holmes tells Watson that he faked his death and then went into hiding until the police have arrested Moriarty’s gang. By wearing a disguise and keeping a low profile, Holmes fooled the world and even Watson into believing he was dead. This use of disguises Holmes once again deceived the world and fed society false news of how Lestrade apprehended the last member of Moriarty’s gang.

    The author was showing how paranoid Holmes was when he thought about his dead body. Holmes knows that what he did do his victims was going to be done to him. The author specifically included this portion as a closure to his character, Holmes. He was showing Holmes worries as his end was approaching. Also, this portion tells us how hypocrite Holmes is by not wanting his remains to be examined by scientists but he did the same to his victims when he sold their remains to medical schools. This is significant because the author once again shows that all Holmes ever cared about is himself.…

    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. Holmes seems to always stick with his beliefs, not matter what the situation was, even after the case seemed like it was solved.…

    Detective Holmes had come to realize that Helen Stoner was about to become the doctors next victim. With both sisters dead he would be the only heir to the income of their deceased mother. I believe that the brilliant detective decided to beat the doctor at his own game. With the help of Miss Stoner, Holmes sneaks into the manor house and waits patiently in Miss Stoner’s room for Dr. Roylott to make his move. Around 3 a.m. in the morning he hears a low whistle and something gliding through the vent.…

    Stapleton is one of those people that you can never tell if they are lying or being honest because he leaves that effect on others. Towards the beginning of the book, Dr. Mortimer states, “Mr. Stapleton, a mutual friend who was much concerned at his state of health, was one of the same opinion” (Doyle 41). This quote shows that Stapleton is thought of as a friend of Sir Charles. This effect, however, is reversed later in the book. “Mr. Holmes, this man had offered me marriage on condition that I could get a divorce from my husband. He has lied to me, the villain, in every conceivable way. Not one word of truth has he ever told me,” exclaims Miss Lyons, “but now I see that I was never anything but a tool in his hands” (Doyle 240). This quote shows that Stapleton is a liar. He uses people to get closer to his goal of triumph. Miss Lyons is a very tempestuous lady. Something…

    H. H. Holmes

    H.H. Holmes was born on May 16th 1861 to parents who descended from the first white settlers in the new township Gilmanton, New Hampshire. He grew up in a house with an abusive, alcoholic father and a strict religious mother. I believe this could have led to H.H. Holmes’ dark side to emerge. At a young age he was bullied by local boys who forced him to view and touch a skeleton when it was found out that he was afraid of the town doctor. Rumor has it though; that this encounter which was supposed to be so terrifying instead intrigued him and led to, I believe, his fascination with death and was a driving force for him becoming a doctor. Serial killers do not wake up one day and decide to kill, there has to be a certain trigger that sets them off, in this case, it was viewing the remains of a human life.…

    For Holmes, he is characterized as a very intelligent detective. In order to get information about the cases, a detective needs to communicate with all kinds of people who come from different social classes. So, for the convenience of having the ability to contact both people who are either from the upper class, like nobles and capitalists, or the lower class, such as worker and farmer, Holmes is characterized as middle class. This characterization makes his meetings with Wilson and Mr. Merryweather become more reasonable since the middle class has a greater chance to meet people from both classes. Moreover, to be an extraordinary detective, the author gives Holmes an incredible insight into detecting people’s personality, experience, occupation, and motivation.…
