Sir Henry Baskerville

Character Analysis

Sir Henry is alleged to be the last surviving member of the Baskerville line and thus heir to Baskerville Hall following the death of his uncle, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Henry was living in America until news of his inheritance reached him. Upon hearing of the bizarre circumstances surrounding his uncle’s death from Dr. James Mortimer, Sir Henry enlists the help of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Asking for help doesn’t mean that Sir Henry is a coward or even all that afraid, however. He declares early on that nothing will stop him from taking possession of Baskerville Hall and promptly moves in, despite the ominous threat of the hound. Furthermore, he isn’t afraid to cross the moors alone when he’s trying to court Beryl Stapleton or in pursuit of the criminal Selden. Sir Henry is also firm but understanding with regard to his duties at Baskerville Hall. When he discovers that Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore have been aiding Selden in his escape, Sir Henry promptly fires them. However, after the couple have a chance to explain the unique situation, Sir Henry has a change of heart and allows them to continue their long employment. Sir Henry even donates his old wardrobe to Mr. Barrymore, having gone to great pains while in London to buy a new wardrobe more suited to his new, noble title

Answer:

Explanation:

For many years, the region around the Baskerville estate was poor and backward, but when Sir Charles Baskerville returns to claim his estate, the region again begins to prosper. By devoting his vast fortune—earned in business—to better the community, Sir Charles fills the long-empty role of leadership that is the duty of the Baskervilles. But into this otherwise happy and orderly society comes disorder in the form of two utterly evil men. One is a convicted mass murderer escaped from prison, who lurks about on the moors; the other is Seldon, a clever criminal, who is insidious enough to corrupt the faithful Baskerville servants into the service of evil.

Even more unsettling is the terrible Hound of the Baskervilles. When the good Sir Charles Baskerville is murdered, an ancient curse on the family is revealed that now threatens Sir Henry, the new heir. For generations, the Baskerville family has been victimized by a giant, spectral hound that prowls the moors. The hound now seems to be loose again; it has claimed Sir Charles and appears ready to strike again. Is this a supernatural creature or merely part of someone's devious plot to supplant the rightful heirs of Baskerville Hall?

Sherlock Holmes is called upon to solve the mystery, and the intricate story builds to an extraordinary climax when the hound attacks: "Fire burst from its open mouth, its eye glowed with a smoldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame." A fiend from hell seems loosed upon Sir Henry.
