"The Speckled band"
In the short story "The Adventure of The Speckled Band". Sherlock Holmes states that "violence does in truth recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another. If one has a dark soul and evil intensions, in the end one shall perish. One simply meets the same fate they intended for another. No good will ever come out of under handed and insipid acts. Darkness doesn't really exist. The true definition of "dark" is only the absence of light. What's done in the dark, under the quiet or covered up is classified as unknown. It never stays that way, …show more content…
This wonderful and mind challenging short story was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's. The genre of this literature is fiction.
Dr. Grimesby Roylott, the sinister character that made this short story so interesting. He was the evil and ruthless step father of the twin girls, Helen stoner and Julia stoner. Dr. Roylott was indeed the murderer of poor Julia. His step daughters were to be married to claim their mother's late income. If both sister's were to succeed, their step father would have been left with very little. His plot against killing his step daughters was for a selfish and sick purpose! On page 333 Sherlock Holmes states that Dr. Roylott was a "clever and ruthless man". He came to this conclusion due to the proof he gathered together, which tied the step father to the murder of Julia. Sherlock Holmes solved the case by catching Dr. Roylott in pursuit of attempting to murder Helen. He was at it once again, but this time little did he know Mr. Holmes was in position as the victim to his crime. Helen was supposed to be in that room that very night. This was the same room Julia met her fate in. The room was constructed to trap whoever is inside. Dr. Roylott had …show more content…
It is very important because it shows how evil lingers but pure good always prevails. The darkest corners here on earth just need light and positive energy. This short story taught me to have a different outlook on situations. It also shows individuals that they need to pay more attention to their surroundings. Even if you feel secure and safe just be attentive and stay alert! Poor Julia died in her own bedroom in her house by the sinister plot of her own step father. If she was a little more observant and explored her bed room she probably wouldn't have met her fate. Sherlock Holmes is hands down a genius, no one can take apart a case like him. When he starts an investigation it's as if he's in another world. He thinks outside of the box. Only I few people manage to do that. I'm sure Helen stoner was honored to have him work on her sister's case along with saving her life in the process. Looking forward to reading another one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories in the
