Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective created by the famous British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. It is a fictional character, but it was made flesh and blood by Conan Doyle. First of all, we will introduce Conan Doyle who created the character of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh and was sent to Jesus Preparatory School at the age of nine. When he was in When he left school in 1875, he was tired of Catholicism and became an agnostic. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh from 1876 to 1881. After graduation, he went to the West African coast as a ship's doctor. After returning home in 1882, he opened a medical practice in Plymouth. But his medical practice was not going well, and during this period he began to write. In 1887, Sherlock Holmes, who later became famous, was born under the pen of Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in "A Study in Scarlet" in the 1887 Beeton Christmas Annual. From then on, the image of the thin and slender detective Sherlock Holmes wearing a soft cloth hat, holding a pipe, and holding a magnifying glass became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes: a British man born in 1854, with a thin build, a long face, thick eyebrows, black hair, a hooked nose, gray eyes, a careful mind, a keen eye, and a deep study of poison anatomy and medicine. He speaks quickly and in a high voice. Descendants of squires attended aristocratic schools, but did not complete their studies. After graduating from Oxford University, majoring in chemistry, in 1887, Holmes officially began his career as a detective. The original residence was located on Montague Street near the British Museum. Later, when the economy was a little better, he and Watson rented No. 221B, Baker Street.
The character analysis of Holmes should be carried out from several aspects. First of all, Holmes is full of enthusiasm for his career. At the same time, he is always sluggish when he has nothing to do. He often uses drugs to kill time. "Come here, look out the window, along the street, brushing against the brown roofs, there is yellow mist rolling by. Is there anything more boring and miserable than this? Doctor, think about it, there is no way to use your strength. What an uncomfortable feeling." ("The Sign of Four") Although Holmes makes a living in the detective industry, he is not very interested in money. He has only one ultimate goal in handling cases---to deliver justice. "Watson, I can't feel at ease when I think about someone like Professor Moriarty doing evil on the streets of London with impunity." This is what Holmes said to Watson in "The Final Case", which is brief but clearly stated. He has always been righteous. It is precisely because of his love for his career that when there are strange cases, his energy is always amazing, his eyes shine with joy, and he is full of energy and indulges in studying crime. Use your insightful observation skills to search for clues and try to solve the mystery that the police thought they had no clue about and gave up on. When he is obsessed with his own reasoning, he often shows an indifferent expression and is indifferent to others. If someone interrupts his thoughts, he will lose his temper without politeness. All passion comes from his sense of responsibility to eradicate evil and bring justice. "Now that we have grasped the future, we can be a little more tolerant about what happened in the past. I do not represent the official, so as long as justice is done, I have no reason to tell everything I know..." This is Holmes What was said to the Duke of Holderness in "The Abbey School", in the eyes of Holmes, nothing is more valuable than justice.
Doyle's Holmes is a very peculiar character. He has a cold and calm temperament, a calm and rational mind, rigid and calm, which cannot tolerate emotions at all, but he has special feelings for Watson. Watson is Holmes's original roommate and the narrator arranged by Doyle. Readers learn everything about Holmes from the mouth of Watson, a fictional character. Watson is a doctor, but more like Holmes' assistant. He and Holmes have experienced many unusual cases together. From the very beginning, Watson became very curious about Holmes' career, and Holmes did not exclude Watson from joining him in his life and work. He often asked Watson to tell him the information and clues he had obtained from the beginning to help him better sort out his ideas. “This is the mini read loudly that the postman just delivered.
"("A Scandal in Bohemia") Holmes is always happy for Watson's company, "It seems I have to take my leave, Holmes. "If so, Watson, you stay here." I wouldn't know what to do without you as my assistant here. This case is interesting and it would be a shame to miss it. "But your client-----" "Ignore him." I need your help, and maybe he does too..." "You may call me Count von Kramm. The bohemian aristocrats of our city. I think your friend is a respectable and prudent person, and I should feel free to entrust him with very important matters. If not, I would like to speak to you alone. ’ I stood up to leave, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into the arm-chair. ‘Let’s talk about it together, otherwise there’s no need to talk about it. '" ("A Scandal in Bohemia") Most of the time, Holmes needs Watson's participation. Of course, this is mainly because Doyle needs a narrator. In the eyes of Holmes, Watson is undoubtedly very good. Assistant. Watson's heartfelt praise to Holmes was very helpful. When faced with Watson's praise, he was always proud of himself and said: 'How wonderful! ’ ‘This is normal. ’ said Holmes, but it was evident from his look that he was proud of the admiration I had shown for him. " ("Garden Street Massacre")
It is also about emotions, but Holmes has no interest in love at all. He always dismisses and laughs at women's intelligence and wit. "Emotions can affect reason. . The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life was sentenced to death for poisoning three children to get insurance money; but the most disgusting man I know was a very generous person. Donated 250,000 pounds to help the poor in London. "...I just feel that love is an emotion in the heart, and it is incompatible with the rationality of my calm thinking when deciding a case. In order to prevent my judgment from being affected, I will never get married in this life." "("The Sign of Four") It was Irene Adler who changed Holmes's view of women, whom he always addressed as "that woman". In his view, as long as she was present, other women would It will be eclipsed. He does not know how to express emotions, and his speech is always in a sarcastic tone. Perhaps it has something to do with Holmes himself.
If Holmes is a person without any emotions. It can be said that it would be unfair to just work as a machine. Holmes has a deep affection for the social security of London and the poor people. He often goes to and from the slums and is familiar with almost every street in London and is familiar with every case. Keep it in mind. In order to facilitate his work, he organized all the information on London social figures according to certain rules. He is always alert and has a strong sense of responsibility and hates crime. He never distinguishes between rich and poor people who come to him to solve their problems. He always helps the kind-hearted poor people without caring about anything in return, but he is not polite to the upper-class people who like to show off. "'If I. If you heard me right, whoever can tell you where your son is will get 5,000 pounds. ’ ‘That’s absolutely true. ’ ‘Another £1,000 if you can name the person who is holding your son hostage. ’ ‘That’s right. ’ My friend rubbed his bony hands with a greedy look. This surprised me because I knew he always charged very little. He said, 'I thought I saw your checkbook on the table. Please write me a check for £6,000. It's best if you sign it again. My correspondent bank is Town and Country Bank Oxford Street Branch. ’…” “The Duke slumped in his chair. 'Who are you going to accuse? ’ ‘You are the one I want to accuse,’ he said. ‘Duke, please write a check. '" ("Abbey School")
Holmes has always been taciturn, which makes people think that he is unkind and indifferent. He is not close to women, does not like to make friends, and is secretive about his family. But he firmly believes that , his character was inherited from his grandmother, the sister of the French painter Weiner. However, his feelings for his brother Mycroft are very deep, which includes admiration and trust.
In his eyes, his brother's observation ability is better than his. At the critical moment of Holmes' life and death, the only person he trusted was Mycroft. In "The Last Case", when Holmes and Watson were evading Moriarty's pursuit, the person who drove him was his brother Mycroft. "Did you recognize who the coachman was?" "No." "It's my brother Mycroft. At this time, it is undoubtedly extremely wise not to trust outsiders..."
As for Holmes Judging from the attitude of his fellow police officers, it was impossible for him to be friends with these idiots in his eyes. He gave this evaluation of the police officers Grayson and Lested: "Grayson is one of the most capable men in Scotland Yard. He and Lested are the top of the idiots." Holmes will use the police The evidence collected supports his conclusions. He never doubts his ability and is always confident, even to the point of bragging in the eyes of people who don't know him well. The fact is that Holmes is indeed an expert. But he doesn't care about fame and fortune and never competes with the police for credit. "If Grayson or Jones encounters a problem and comes to me for advice, as the highest tribunal of detectives, I will review the materials as an expert and provide my opinions. However, I do not take credit for it, and my report is not in the newspaper. The name..."
The analysis of Sherlock Holmes's character cannot be separated from "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes". Holmes, who fills the entire book, is generally a person who is lazy about life and enthusiastic about his career. He is only interested in subjects that are helpful in solving cases and has reached the level of proficiency. Don't care about your own health and work tirelessly. At the same time, like a knight, he punishes evil and promotes good, and avoids evil as much as hatred. His cold personality makes him have few friends and he has no longing for love. Although the mature and calm Holmes is portrayed by Doyle as magical, he is also lacking in shortcomings. He is sometimes proud, even self-righteous, and likes to hear Watson's sincere praise, and sometimes makes mistakes. It is these shortcomings that make Holmes a more vivid character. He has become the ultimate idol in the hearts of countless detective novel fans.
