WHO IS SHERLOCK HOLMES?


Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish physician and author who is most famous for his popular fictional stories about Sherlock Holmes. He was born on 22 May 1859 at Edinburgh and passed away in 1893. This gentlemen studied medicine and after a few year later, he became a Doctor. At the year of 1891, Sir Arthur became a full time writer and was a very creative person.  


Known the world over as the greatest fictionist detective, he’s one of literature's most popular characters. Many depicts him in a deerstalker hat, though fans and experts of the detectives will recall that he was more often depicted as wearing a checked coat which goes along perfectly with his smart suit, a magnifying glass and a pipe. At times, Sherlock gets mistaken as a tourist by others. Personal cleanliness was very important to him as he is elegantly dressed. No doubt that this fine gentleman is one of the most intelligent and He has extremely well honed deductive skills. He was a secret detective and a medical student, noted violinist and there was more than a suggestion that he used heroin. In short this makes him the most widely respected and best love character in British fiction. Sherlock Homes often lives in a recluse condition, in other words commonly an aloof. He had a brilliant inclusive mind that he used to solve all kinds of complicated crimes. Whenever he is solving a crime, he becomes animated and full of action; he puts full concentration into it and feels himself mentally balanced. He would always be the first one to get a very complex solution about the case which may drastically different from the authorities but will always be proven correct. When he has no case, Sherlock barely steps out of his home which has the address of 221b Baker Street. That’s one of the reasons he becomes pale and moody. If his job was not to solve crimes, he would have been a brilliant scientist. Both professions needed the power of deduction and some elements of risk taking.


As always, a genius like Sherlock always needed their very own side kick, in other words apprentice. Dr. John Watson used to be a military assistant surgeon in the Afghan war. He was an army doctor in Afghanistan, and only came back to England once he got a rifle wound to the leg. He was a man with a financial issue and was looking for a room to live in. And when he found one, coincidentally his roommate was the one and only Sherlock Holmes. Watson accepted the way Sherlock his roommate was and supported him all the way. Watson is awesome is his own ways. He’s the one who always carries the gun in his pocket and Holmes's most dangerous encounters. Dr. John Watson’s questions and Sherlock’s answers do we understand the working of a brilliant mind like Sherlock. “Elementary Dr. Watson! Elementary!” Mr. Holmes favorite line. John was always a positive thinker.
He always had hope in Sherlock and helped him as well. Both of them goes around investigating crimes together and make things way more exciting. He is commonly known to be very cheerful and a jolly character.

Even a man like Sherlock Holmes had his very own nemesis. His name was James Moriaty. He had many things in common with Sherlock. James Moriaty is a psychologically similar to Sherlock Holmes many ways. They share the same type of personality. However, the difference between the two is that Sherlock copes with his boredom in ways that benefit others, whereas James Moriarty copes with his boredom in ways that are destructive to not only others, but himself. He was an extreme intelligent, strong ability on understanding things and a mastermind.
