Best Answer

Hate is far to strong of a word to use in this scenario. Sherlock Holmes never truly "hated" the Scotland Yard. However, he did dislike working with them because his methods were not compatible with those of the Scotland Yard. Often working with a member of the yard hampered Holmes' abilities to solve the case and catch the perpetrator to his satisfaction.

What does Professor James Moriarty do in Sherlock Holmes?

Professor James Moriarty is a fictional character and the archenemy of the detective Sherlock Holmes in the fiction of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the "Napoleon of crime". Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, one of the real life models of Moriarty. The character of Moriarty as Holmes' greatest enemy was introduced primarily as a narrative device to enable Conan Doyle to kill off Sherlock Holmes, and only featured directly in two of the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, in more recent derivative work he is often given a greater prominence and treated as Holmes' primary antagonist.But as we know, Holmes survived his fall from the waterfall - yay!"At the age of twenty-one he wrote a treatise upon the binomial theorem which has had a European vogue. On the strength of it, he won the mathematical chair at one of our smaller universities, and had, to all appearances, a most brilliant career before him." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Final Problem'
