Extended information

Appreciation of works

The background of the story fully combines the political and economic situation in Britain at that time, and Conan Doyle's creative writing style and narrative perspective are becoming increasingly mature. It's so changeable that many people even think it's real.

In this novel, in addition to the thrilling and sensational detective stories, it also shows the jealousy, suspicion, and hatred between people. A husband murders his wife, an uncle poisons his nephew for property, two brothers kill their sister, etc. These crimes fully demonstrate the ugliness of human nature.

In addition, Holmes and Watson sometimes broke the law for the sake of justice. For example, they sneaked into the house of a fraudster to steal a letter, and they let go to avenge their lover out of sympathy, etc., etc., are also certain. To a certain extent, it promotes the humanitarian idea of ??punishing evil and promoting good, and caters to the psychology of the general public.
