Structure, Language and Characterisation of Conan Doyles Sherlock Holm

The structure language and characterisation of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes In this essay I am going to analysis and investigate the structure, language and characterisation of the detective fiction genre. Using the Sherlock Holmes stories; which combined strong fictional story lines with ruthless and clever villains; they are regarded as some of the best collection of examples of storybooks. Sherlock Holmes is a literary character, created by Arthur Conan Doyle in four novels and 56 short stories published between 1887 and 1927. The pioneering author of the detective genre was an American writer and poet called Edgar Allan Poe. The first ever story was "Murders in The Rue Morge". This was the first to feature the locked room mystery, which is a critical an inspiring element for the detective genre. It baffles the police and the public but is effortlessly solved with simplicity by the stories hero. Who is intelligent and analytical superior to the law enforcements? This is an additional common tradition in the genre; were the police seem to be deficient in perfection acuteness in Neanderthal ways. Conan Doyle started writing in 1887 with his first story "A Study in Scarlet"; the story introduces Holmes and his companion Dr.Waston. A great majority of these stories involve mystery. The heart of the story concerns the search for clues or evidence. While there is certainly a good variety of plot structures within the Sherlock Holmes), it is safe to say that a majority of the short stories follow the following pattern of motifs fairly closely. Many of these are also found in Poe's Dupin stories. The story begins at 221B Baker Street, the residence of the great detective and his sidekick narrator, ... ... his disguise.the two things that the reader wonders about in "A Case of Identity":isHow could Mary Sutherland be fooled by her stepfather's disguise and why didn't Holmes tell her the truth about Hosmer Angel?. Was Windibank secretly attracted to Mary all along so he just married her? If so, then why didn't he marry her in the first place, instead of her mother? Or is Windibank just a greedy and selfish fool, who concocted what seemed a harmless way to keep Mary and her income at home for a bit longer? In all , the stories written by Conan Doyle are an intelligent fictional series .I some times thought that Doyle would have had to of been an gifted man or of known something about detective work to write such an intricate set of stories. Which show ruthless clever villains and Sherlock Holmes who powers of observation baffle any one who reads into it .
