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'
What style are Sherlock Holmes stories?
Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories are written in descriptive style. For instance, many stories contain historical fiction (based on actual history), and the actions of the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, are described in detail. However, many parts of the stories are in narrative style, and mostly when a client is narrating the details of the case. Also, the two short stories written in third person and the two stories written by Sherlock Holmes are mostly narratives. The two styles may, at times, also be mixed together.
