Sherlock Holmes Essay

The resemblance to a fierce senile bird of prey shows just how frightening this component is. Using this descriptive language is important as it portrays Dr Roylott as someone who is overpowering, fierce and evil which suffers him sound like a frightening person who would rehearse murder. This also creates tension in the proofreader making them want to find out if it is him who is the murderer. 5. What did you hope to arrive at through creating the character Sherlock Holmes? Through the character of Sherlock Holmes I hoped to show him as a positive role model and someone who the law should be like.In those days the polices attempts to combat evil shifted back towards the prevention of crime, as opposed to the detection of criminals. (This source is from www. oldbaileyonline. org/history/crime/policing. htmlmetrotext) This is why the police dismissed Helen Stoners story and if Sherlock Holmes had done the same thing then Helen Stoner would have died. This shows how the way of policing was back then. I hoped to change the police force through the character of Sherlock Holmes to make them realise that policing had to be aimed at the detection of criminals as well as preventing crime. commune be precise to details shows that Holmes is interested and wanting to find out why Julia Stoner died, inappropriate the police force who just wanted to prevent than solve crime. 6. How did you create a sense of mystery and tension in the plot of The Speckled Band? I created the sense of tension and mystery in the story by showing evidence along the way. Why its a dummy A ventilator into another room T here(predicate) were s ever soal little changes carried out more or less that time A small saucer of milk A small dog leash. All this evidence adds to the tension and making the reader want to read on to find out how the evidence is all linked.Also, How shall I ever forget that dreadful vigil? This rhetorical question shows how terrible the ordeal was. I could not h ere a sound, not even the drawing of a breath. The shutter cut off the to the lowest degree ray of light and we waited absolute darkness. This quote makes the reader feel like they are waiting for something to knock and on that pointfore, thus building more tension. 7. How important was aspect in the story The Speckled Band? The setting in The Speckled Band such as the building of grey was important because it symbolises the danger that lurks about them.Lichen-blotched stone, with a high central portion and two curved wings like the claws of a crab. The illustration which describes . Stoke Moran shows the danger that Holmes and Helen are in. The claws sound like they are dangerous and will trap anyone and make them suffer a terrible fate for those who approach them. It was a perfect day, with a bright cheerfulness and a few fleecy clouds in the heavens. The trees and wayside hedges were just throwing out their first green shoots, and there was full of the pleasant smell of t he moist earth and this ignominious quest upon which we were engaged. This pathetic fallacy shows the compare between where they are coming from which is calm and pleasant and Stoke Moran, which is portrayed as a sinister place full of danger and mystery. This setting is important as it also builds tension in the reader which makes them want to read on.
