Who killed Julia stoner in the speckled band?

Dr. Grimesby Roylott trains his snake to climb down a false bell pull to bit Julia Stoner in her sleep. So, while the snake's poison kills Julia Stoner, it is widely held that Dr. Roylott is her murderer. -Major Spoiler- At the end of the story, Holmes remarks that he feels no guilt for HIS responsibility in turning the snake on Dr. Roylott. This epitomizes the notion in detective fiction that poetic justice is justice. (Roylott dies at the wrong end of his own tactics)


Did doctor roylott deserve to die?

Dr. Roylott was bitten by the "speckled band" which was the snake that he owned The exact date is unclear, but most scholars agree with the text that says: "It was early in April, in the year [18]83." -- John H. Watson, 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band'


What is the climax of the adventures of the speckled band?

The characters in the speckled band are as follow: Sherlock Holmes Dr Watson Helen Stoner Julia Stoner Dr Grimesby Roylott other characters that are not mentioned as much are: Holmes's and Watson's housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson trap driver the owner of the inn Miss Honoria Westphail, (Stoner sisters' aunt) Percy Armitage (Helen's fiance) unnamed blacksmith that Roylott hurled into a stream unnamed county coroner Roylott's unnamed old and foolish housekeeper unnamed Crown Inn landlord unnamed correspondent who sent Roylott animals from India Major-General Stoner (the late father of the Stoner sisters) Unnamed late mother of the Stoner sisters Palmer and Pritchard (two doctors that SH referred to as having "gone wrong" i.e. turned criminal) Julia Stoner's unnamed fiance Percy Armitage's father and unnamed older brother Roylott's unnamed father his unnamed relative who helped him through medical school the unnamed Indian butler who Roylott had beaten to death


Why does Dr Roylott have a baboon and a cheetah?

Dr. Roylott has spent a lot of time in India, studying mostly. That is also where he met his wife. He has these wild animals to remind him of India. Roylott also has other animals, including the 'speckled band', a.k.a. his deadly swamp adder, which is also 'the deadliest snake in India'. I hope this helped!!


Who was the master of the snake in the adventure of the speckled band?

Dr. Roylott, Helen and Julia's stepfather. (Julia is the sister who dies, Helen is the one who consults Sherlock.)
