How does Sir Arthur Conan Doyle use the conventions of the detective story genre? ...
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle uses the conventions of a detective story in a very affective way. I think the conventions needed in a detective story are:
• A major crime is needed such as a murder.
• A victims and villains have to be in the story.
• A setting for the story is needed (place)
• Also a detective is needed he should have an extraordinary talent at every thing he does. ...
I think that the writer does use most or all of these conventions.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle set this story in the Victorian times. ... This story was most likely write for the well off person with time to read the books and who were most worried about having there possessions stolen off of them. ... Doyle uses Watson to shape are impressions of Holmes by Watson saying positive comments thoughout the text. ... It is not only Watson Doyle uses to shape our impressions of Holmes. We are constantly told by the Doyle how good he is by text like Holmes saying I observe and going into how he figures out how she made her way to London. ...
We start to learn about the victim just after Homes has proven himself as a more than satisfactory detective.
