Sherlock holmes the best detective essay sample 14638

Sherlock Holmes is a well known detective, in a series of stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. All of the stories go into great detail as to what life was like in the Nineteenth to the early twentieth century. The stories I have been studying are named ‘The Speckled Band’, ‘The Man with the Twisted Lip’ and ‘The Copper Beeches’.

According to Holmes’ very good friend, he is knowledgeable of the following: Literature – he can quote the Bible, Shakespeare and even other detective quotes. He is also well-read when it comes to sensational literature It is revealed that Sherlock Holmes is a voracious reader with a very retentive memory.

With every story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, more is revealed of the amazing capabilities of the best fictional private detective that the world has ever known. Little is known about the history of Sherlock Holmes so it is hard to understand how much of his investigative abilities were in-born.

Without the clues or red herrings there would be no Sherlock Holmes so that is why I personally think clues and red herrings are the most important things in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Red herrings may lead you astray into thinking that it was somebody/something else when in fact it is not and sometimes can be quite the opposite.
