Summary of the speckled band by arthur conan doyle in 500 words
Answers
The Adventure of the Speckled Band is one of the darker Sherlock Holmes stories dealing with murder by unusual means.
The story is written as if it was one of the earliest cases undertaken by Holmes and Watson as a duo, with the case being brought to the consulting detective by a scared young lady, Helen Stoner.
Helen Stoner’s sister had died in mysterious circumstances, and ultimately this death proved to be one of the earliest examples in crime fiction, of a “Locked Room” mystery. Subsequently, this type of problem was taken up by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Adventure of the Empty House and The Adventure of the Crooked Man; and, of course, ever since the time of Conan Doyle, crime writers have made use the locked room problem.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band is of course memorable because of the murder, but it is also praised, amongst fans of Sherlock Holmes, for highlighting all of the best characteristics of the detective. In the story Holmes shows a real concern for his client, overlooking the lack of payment for services, as wells as concern for the wellbeing of Dr Watson. The case also shows the physical strength of Holmes, and of course, his ability to deduce and extrapolate from the evidence presented to him.
As with many of the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Adventure of the Speckled Band was adapted for TV by Granada, with Jeremy Brett starring as Sherlock Holmes; the adaptation being the sixth episode of the first series.
