After the book was published 100 years ago, the British royal family decided to award the title of Sir Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of the novel. The conditions for the British emperor to award knighthood were harsh and serious, but it was the first time that he awarded a fictional character in the book. It can be seen that the works of Arthur Conan Doyle 100 years ago have far-reaching influence on foreigners and are of great significance.
The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes takes the experience of Sherlock Holmes and Watson as the main line, which leads to a sensational mystery.
The background of the story fully combined with the political and economic situation in Britain at that time, and Conan Doyle's writing style and narrative angle became more and more sophisticated, and many people even thought it really existed. In this novel, in addition to those thrilling and sensational detective cases, more is to express jealousy, suspicion and hatred between people. Husband killed his wife, uncle poisoned his nephew for property, two brothers killed his sister, and so on. These crimes show the ugliness of human nature. In addition, Holmes and Watson sometimes break the law for the sake of justice, such as sneaking into a liar's house to steal a letter, and letting go of Dr. Tregennis who avenged his lover because of sympathy and killed two murderers who could not be punished by law. To a certain extent, it also promoted the humanitarian thought of punishing evil and promoting good and catered to the psychology of the general public.
Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of the story, likes to be praised but doesn't like women, although his character is elusive. He was once rated by Watson as "ruthless as a machine in the investigation process" in Four Signs, but in The Dying Detective, he showed deep friendship and trust in Watson. When Watson tried to touch the ivory box with a poisonous needle, he growled wildly to stop it, and then returned to normal.
Moriarty, the biggest villain in the book, controls all the evils in London, but on the surface he looks like a respectable professor, which can be said to be Conan Doyle's accusation against the society and government at that time. By describing the tragic experience of Douglas in uncanny valley, he made readers deeply sympathize with their experiences and made readers angry with moriarty and his gang. More importantly, he made all kinds of injustices in real life emerge in people's minds, resulting in * * *.
