Doyle's Holmes is a volcel who seems to feel disdain or indifference towards women, with the exception of Irene Adler in A Scandal in Bohemia. Watson says that Holmes doesn't feel attracted to her, just admires her wit, and most people who write about the original Holmes say that the canon doesn't support a romantic connection.quote:To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. [...] And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory. But I wondered if that's actually true. The only payment he requests from his client at the end of the case is a photo of her. That seems like a pretty clear indicator that he feels some sort of love or attraction that surpasses mere respect. Like if Adler were a man I doubt Holmes would have said "oh no need for payment, let me just keep this dude's headshot" Kevin DuBrow fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Oct 3, 2020 |
