My
favorite story in this book is “Sherlock Holmes and the strange Mr. Angel”. After
I read it, I knew that this story is generally called “A case of identity”. This
is the third short story of “Sherlock Holmes” series,
exhibited by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1891.
Honestly,
I had a distorted image of “Sherlock Holmes” as the writings before I read this
story. I had taken it into my head that Holmes deals entirely with cases of
murder. However, nobody dies in this story. I think that the action and motive
of Miss Sutherland’s mother and Mr. Windibank is very human, and in a way, I feel
close to them.
Like
Miss Sutherland, a woman’s longing for a man is stronger than you may think,
and nobody can stop it. I feel Miss Sutherland’s mother and Mr. Windibank took
it too lightly. I grasped the meaning of the line from “ONE PIECE”, a Japanese
famous manga, that “Love always comes in a hurricane”.
This
case doesn’t cause human casualties, but Holmes proves his ability, for example
an amazing insightfulness and astute observation, and he succeeds in solving
the mystery. Arthur Conan Doyle is considered that he was not thrilled with
writing “Sherlock Holmes” series, but I would like to appreciate him continuing
and developing it.
