Answer:
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have been seen as the ultimate partners for as long as they have been in print. Their relationship is far deeper than anything that meets the eye; they mean more to each other than just a business partner or friend. Some have seen their relationship as anything from that of best friends, to homosexual lovers, or to heterosexual lovers as seen between a male Holmes and a female Watson. Whether these statements can be proven or not remains a facet controlled by the reader, but several other useful implications can be drawn from their relationship.
No matter what Watson and Holmes mean to each other, both men seem to follow certain trends throughout the story. Each man contributes to one certain feeling in the tales; Watson will always be inferior to Holmes. Through conversation and description of each other, both men continue to follow this trend. Even though sometimes Watson strays to make a comment or two about Holmes and his laziness or what not, he always comes back to praise him again. Holmes also makes comments to keep Watson in the inferior place that he currently holds. In "A Scandal in Bohemia," Holmes immediately comments on Watson's gaining weight. This is a way to keep Watson feeling badly about himself.
