Final Post of Blog

In this post, I'm going to organize the topics that I want to talk about in my paper.
So my essential question was "Why is the character of Sherlock Holmes so compelling? Why has it stood the test of time? How have more contemporary authors changed the character and why?"

I now understand why Holmes is so compelling. First of all, he is very intelligent and can solve any case that he attempts. From what I've read, he's never not finished a case. He uses deductive reasoning and he can interpret situations with only a small amount of evidence. In addition, he can be a ruthless interrogator, but he can also be a humble and benevolent host. He seems to dislike people with inferior minds. In Beekeeper's Apprentice, the author put Holmes up against a female who had the same intuitive mind as he did. The author showed that Holmes can also be a fatherly figure when many readers thought he couldn't be one. Holmes is also a man of duty and adheres to his job at all costs. Another contemporary author, such as Donald Thomas, reveals other qualities of Holmes. Holmes can decode messages and he was almost executed. In addition, the author incorporates new technological advances into Holmes's story. I might add more later, but this is it for now.
