Essay on if Sherlock Holmes is the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen
Rational Holmes: In "The Adventure of the Scandal in" rel="nofollow">in Bohemia," Conan Doyle describes Holmes as "the most perfect reasonin" rel="nofollow">ing and observin" rel="nofollow">ing machin" rel="nofollow">ine that the world has seen." The implication of Doyle's description is that Holmes is devoid of emotion, a personality type that might in" rel="nofollow">indeed make him an effective detective. For this paper option, I welcome you to test Doyle's claim (technically, I guess it is Watson who describes him like this). So is Watson right? Is Holmes a perfectly rational creature? Or is there evidence in" rel="nofollow">in the stories that his personality is actually more complex than this? If so, if you do fin" rel="nofollow">ind evidence of emotion in" rel="nofollow">in Holmes's character, how does this emotion manifest itself? Is it an asset or a problem?Use MLA style
