A Scandal in Bohemia
1. I would describe Irene Adler as an intelligent, determined, and beautiful lady. I describe
her so because she was willing to do anything to get whatever she wanted and also used
her wit to disguise and spy on Holmes and Watson. The king also describes her as a
beautiful lady whose intelligence would have made her a perfect queen had she not been
a commoner.
2. The story follows Sherlock Holme’s classical formula, which involves building a heroic
character, sidekicks and villains. Sherlock Holmes is the hero, with Irene Adler and John
Watson as the villain and sidekick, respectively. The story follows the classical formula
whereby the author portrays Holmes as the intelligent, cunning, and famous character
whose work is to help deal with Adler's villainous acts, with Watson as his assistance.
3. A typical Holmes story involves deductive reasoning, leading to an ultimate defeat of the
villain. However, this story gives some credit to Irene Adler, portraying her as a witty and
respectful villain. Sherlock and the king acknowledged Irene’s intelligence and Holmes
saved her instead of killing her, an uncommon trend in Holmes’ stories where villains do
not receive credit are usually killed.
