Sherlock Holmes, he is never given a middle name. We can only speculate, and that, I think, is for the better.


Was Sherlock Holmes a man or woman?

Sherlock Homes was a man. And, just make sure you know that Sherlock Holmes was not real life detective, only a well thought of character in a book. Any Human on Planet Earth could very well become as clever and mischievous as Sherlock Holmes, if only they would learn to use their full brain capacity....lol, which I'm sure is not possible for the human race.


Why did Sherlock Holmes admire Irene Adler?

'To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' "I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' 'He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of THE woman.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' "I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Five Orange Pips'

Who played Irene adler in Sherlock Holmes?

Oh this is a saddd question!! Irene Adler was the only woman ever to escape Sherlock Holmes. Holmes held a much greater and deeper respect for women after that. And he always referred to her as "the woman". You'll hear a lot and I mean a LOT of rumors about some chemistry/romance between the two....but believe me, it is not not not NOTtrue!!! There was never anything between them. Sherlock Holmes was never interested in women and he laughed at romance.
