Dipti, Setting

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose the moor as the setting because it is described as this very tall, gated, and creepy area. I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tries to portray this sense of eeriness in the moor as it creates this dark mood. The readers feel the mystery they read about the moor. This in turn, makes the moor a perfect setting for the book. Sir arthur Conan Doyle uses very detailed descriptions to tell the readers about the moor adding to the overall intensity of the book.

Dipti, Chapter 1: Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes tells Watson that he is starting to use his mind and think more brightly. Holmes likes to let Watson think that he has the correct answer, but it is really Holmes knows all the answers. My first impression of Sherlock is that he is a clever and sly detective who somehow always knows what is going on. Sherlock thinks Watson is a good companion, but in detective matters he is just somewhat of a sidekick. Holmes values Watson's opinion, but finds it not as good as his own.
