In the hound of the baskerville is the hound really real?

No, The hound that killed Charles Baskerville by giving him a heart attack and tried to kill Henry Baskerville was bought by Stapleton so it would look like the curse was real and nobody would suspect him when he tried to claim the baskerville fortune since he was in fact a Baskerville himself. So it was a hound but not the hound from the curse or legend as you might call it.

Who was the bearded man in The Hound of the Baskervilles?

There are actually two Hugo Baskervilles in the story. Hugo (I) Baskerville is the one who supposedly started the curse who lived in the 1600's (his portrait is dated 1647). The 'curse' manuscript is dated 1742, and it is written by Hugo (II) Baskerville to his sons Rodger and John, with instructions that they say nothing thereof to their sister Elizabeth.' Sir Charles Baskerville is both Hugos direct descendant who died in June of the year of the story (circa 1889). The identity of the killer of the female is speculation. She could have been killed by Hugo (I), died of fright, died from injuries in a fall, or she may have been killed by the hound. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was Sir Charles' ancestor and he kidnapped a girl form the local village then she tried to run away. Hugo chased after her, killed her, and then the dog killed him and this how the curse of the Baskervilles began. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Charles Baskerville is a descendant that has information about what happen on the night that the Yeoman's daughter and Hugo Baskerville are found dead. Hugo Baskerville is a wicked man who kidnapped a yeoman's daughter. He and his friends dragged her to Baskerville Hall where they locked her in the tower. While he was having dinner with his guests, the girl escaped. Once it was discovered that she was missing, Hugo Baskerville sent dogs to retrieve her. The guests ran to stop him, once they found out what he was intending. Yet, when they got to the woods they found that he had already killed her. However, he was also dead. A giant black hound was found tearing his throat. That is how the Curse of the Baskervilles began. ~SamanthieR


Who is Rodger Baskerville?

Rodger Baskerville was the youngest of three brothers: Charles, a second brother who fathered Henry Baskerville, and Rodger himself. He was the spitting image of Hugo Baskerville, the man who's actions (circa 1650) and fate created the legend of their family. Known as the black sheep of the family, Rodger gained a bad reputation in England and left for Central America where he died in 1876 of yellow fever. Late in the story the reader learns that he had a son also named Rodger Baskerville. There is a third Rodger Baskerville, the son of the Hugo Baskerville who wrote the 'curse' manuscript dated 1742.
