The Characters in The Hound Of The Baskervilles by Sherlock Holmes
In the first chapter we see how intelligent Sherlock Holmes is, he
shows his intelligence through his examination of Dr Mortimer's
walking stick, it's as if Holmes is a sleuth. " I would suggest for
example that a presentation to a doctor's more likely to come from a
hospital than a hunt, and that when the entails C.C. are placed before
that hospital the words Charing Cross very naturally suggests
themselves." This shows that Holmes is observant as he is intelligent
because he worked out from just two initials Dr Mortimer's occupation.
But we also see how lazy Holmes is in this chapter he demonstrates
this by looking at the silver coffee pot and seeing what Watson was
doing instead of turning around and looking at him," Well, Watson,
what do you make of it?" said Holmes, "Holmes was sitting to his back
to me, and I had given him no sign of my occupation, how did you know
what I was doing? I believe you have eyes at the back of your head."
said Watson " I have at least, a well-polished, silver-plated
coffee-pot in front of me," said Holmes. This shows that Holes is a
cleaver, but lazy character.
When Holmes first meats Dr Mortimer he shows a little anger towards
Mortimer's assumptions," Recognizing, as I do that you are the second
height expert in Europe, to the man of precisely scientific mind
always apply strongly".
As you would think Holmes would feel really insulted to hear this
which he is ," Then had you not better consult him" says Holmes. I
trust, sir, that I have not inadvertently" says Mortimer. Holmes says,
"Just a little" homes reaction shows that ...

Stapleton had escaped and had gone into the Grimpen Mire and he would
get out alive out of there and she was right when they went to look
for Stapleton they found him dead in a swamp.
In conclusion I think the reason why the book "The Hound Of The
Baskervilles" is successful as a good novel is because the characters
are all most life like each one has it's defects, for example Holmes
makes him special of his faults he can't be perfect then none of
Arthur Conan Doyle's stories would be interesting. It is also
successful how Author Conan Doyle makes the book have a mystery where
everyone is a suspect, but you can't put a finger on which one, it's
one of those novels which make nearly everyone a suspect except for
the main characters have something suspicious about them he keeps the
reader guessing.

Joy, Fear, and Impatience are what a good character makes you feel. A thoughtful and interesting character always leaves you wanting more, like a good movie, once it’s done, you’re always left wanting more. The characters that took me on a roller coaster ride were, Jane from Jane Eyre, John and Mustapha from Brave New World, and Edgar from King Lear. These characters lead me up and down on roller coaster full of joy.

The Hound of the Baskervilles written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the movie The Hound of the Baskervilles directed by Jeremy Bret are two works of art that are mainly telling the same story. There are, however, many differences about the book and the movie. Those differences don’t affect the outcome of the story, but they give less impact to the story. Along with the differences there are many similarities, and those similarities give you confidence that it is the same story.
To some, this argument may seem the most blatant form of mistruth, horrendous, even, in its lack of taste, a kind of literary sacrilege, in fact. Surely we have reached the end, one might say, when one can considerer comparing the immortal Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, with the adolescent protagonist of Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger’s hero has been compared to many literary figures, from Huckleberry Finn to David Copperfield. So many different attitudes have been taken toward him. Let’s stop talking about him and write something else. Isn’t the subject getting boring? Perhaps so, but Holden will not go away. He continues to pester the mind, and while reading A.C. Bradley’s analysis of Hamlet’s character, it was hard to resist the idea that much of what Bradley was saying about Hamlet applied to Holden as well. Perhaps the comparison is not as absurd as it first appears. Of course, there is no similarity between the events of the play and those of the novel. The fascinating thing while reading Bradley was how perfectly his analysis of Hamlet’s character applied to Holden’s, how deeply, in fact, he was going into Holden’s character as well, revealing, among other things, its potentially tragic nature.
away from her. 'Don't you even take a look at that bitch.' Later, when we find out
“The Hound of the Baskervilles” demonstrated the differences between the upper class and the lower class and even between those people who were in the same class as each others at the end of the 19th century in England. Beside those differences, there were also some similarities between the two classes. In this essay, I will analyse how they are alike and different in some main aspects such as the belief in the curse, the relationship to the law, their mysterious actions, and especially the subjugation between people in the same class.

In the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles by Conan Doyle, there are a lot of different characters in which Doyle portrays in all different ways. In Particular, Doyle’s character Mrs. Stapleton; Stapleton’s alleged sister, turns out to be his wife. Mrs. Stapleton seems to do whatever her husband asks of her, basically if he says “jump” she says “how high”. Now one may ask why Mrs. Stapleton goes along with pretending to be her husband’s sister, simply put Mrs. Stapleton does what her husband says because she is in love with him and thinks that he loves her back, but is also afraid of what he will do if she does not obey him. She has stuck by Stapleton through every bad thing he has done in the story; she was completely loyal to him. That is until she learns he is going to kill Sir Henry Baskerville. Upon finding this out she tried her best to send his secret warnings in hopes of scaring him into staying home for his own safety.

Within the stories of these volumes of books, they have tapped in to something that may be about race, finding yourself, or just a fun story to tell. In my opinion, the authors such as Mark Twain, Kate Chopin, and more have developed a sense of popularity from their stories in which I like. Within these characters from theses short stories or poems, the audience can relate to what the characters may be going through and there outcome. Metaphors, synonyms, similes, hyperboles, and more rhetorical terms are present throughout the works from these creative authors. I find this to be interesting because having all these different elements and the events that occur makes me love these stories. Therefore, I would like to focus on my interpretation
