The hound of baskerville

A detailed Summary of The hound of baskerville

1.Conan Doyle, Arthur. 1976. The Hound of The Baskervilles. Andor Publishing Inc. Park Ridge, New Jersey. 255 pages.

2.The story takes place during the late eighteen hundreds early ninteen hundreds. The beginning of the story is based in London, England, while the rest is based in Devonshire, and Coombe Tracy England. The setting in this story had a great effect on the characters, and their actions. One feature is when they were in Devonshire a fair amount of the setting was when the characters were on the moor(which is a marshy, light soiled land with rocks and small hills). The moor greatly affected the actions of the characters more than once. One specific time was when Watson was chasing after the escaped convict but could not keep up over the rough terrain. Another example is in the end when the rolling fog almost ruined sherlock holmes' trap to catch Mr. Stapleton but instead lead to the escape of him. Also the Mr. Stapleton uses a swampy marsh named the grimpen mire to escape because of the complex path you must take in order to get through it.

2. pg. 58 James Mortimer says "I'd rather walk for this affair has flurried me rather"

ys great attention to the slightest detail. He is a tall, slightly athletic man who smokes a pipe. He will do anything to solve a case. He can change cases and focus intently from one to another quickly showing his great ability to brain storm about subjects. Dr. Watson is an inch or two shorter than sherlock, and a little bit less in shape than him, he as well smokes tobacco but in a ciggarette form. Dr. watson yearns for holmes' approval and to gain the talents holmes possesses.

4. The scene that would make an impressive scene in a movie i think would be the scene in the end where Sir Henry is being chased by the monstrous hound.

I think Watson is most credible, becauce he went to Devonshire on his own and investigated the case bringing up many good suspicions and uncovering many clues. I don't think anyone should be given the least credit in this story because the way i perceived it all the characters
