    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.

    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.…

    A glimpse of Holmes’ observant mind can be seen as early as the first chapter when Holmes and Dr. Watson are in their home office.

With his back turned to Watson and no prior knowledge of what he is doing Holmes asks what he thinks of the cane, completely surprised and caught off guard, Watson says that Holmes must “have eyes in the back of his head”. Holmes admits that he observed his actions through the reflection of the coffee maker. Another example occurs when he is examining the letter that was received by Sir Henry. From his close inspection he is able to conclude that the person who sent the letter is someone familiar with Sir Henry, and that the person is well educated.…
