The protagonist of the story, a consulting detective to the London police force though they seldom give him credit for his help who solves crimes while accompanied by his roommate John Watson. Though Holmes is highly intelligent, with sharp observational and deductive reasoning skills that allow him to understand a crime scene or deduce a person’s history just by paying close attention, he can also be cold, petty, and arrogant. Though Holmes is vastly knowledgeable about certain areas, such as chemistry and British law, he is equally ignorant about others, such as astronomy. As Watson explains, Holmes is occasionally completely apathetic toward his surroundings but at other times is highly energetic and theatrical, particularly when he has a complex case to solve. Sherlock Holmes Quotes in A Study in Scarlet The A Study in Scarlet quotes below are all either spoken by Sherlock Holmes or refer to Sherlock Holmes. For each quote, you can also see the other characters and themes related to it each theme is indicated by its own dot and icon, like this one . Holmes is a little too scientific for my tastes — it approaches to cold-bloodedness. I could imagine his giving a friend a little pinch of the latest vegetable alkaloid, not out of malevolence, you understand, but simply out of a spirit of inquiry in order to have an accurate idea of the effects. To do him justice, I think that he would take it himself with the same readiness. He appears to have a passion for definite and exact knowledge….Yes, but it may be pushed to excess. When it comes to beating the subjects in the dissecting-rooms with a stick, it is certainly taking rather a bizarre shape. Page Number and Citation 10 Explanation and Analysis Let me see — what are my other shortcomings. I get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I’ll soon be right. What have you to confess now? It’s just as well for two fellows to know the worst of one another before they begin to live together. Page Number and Citation 13 Explanation and Analysis Nothing could exceed his energy when the working fit was upon him; but now and again a reaction would seize him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving… I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness of his whole life forbidden such a notion. Page Number and Citation 15 Explanation and Analysis I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order… It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones. Page Number and Citation 17 Explanation and Analysis Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life”, and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deductions appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thoughts. Deceit, according to him, was an impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer. Page Number and Citation 19 Explanation and Analysis “There are no crimes and criminals in these days,” he said, querulously. “What is the use of having brains in our profession? I know well that I have it in me to make my name famous. No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done. And what is the result? There is no crime to detect, or, at most, some bungling villainy with a motive so transparent that even a Scotland Yard official can see through it.” Page Number and Citation 23 Explanation and Analysis “Gregson is the smartest of the Scotland Yarders,” my friend remarked; “he and Lestrade are the pick of a bad lot. They are both quick and energetic, but conventional — shockingly so. They have their knives into one another, too. They are as jealous as a pair of professional beauties. There will be some fun over this case if they are both put upon the scent.” Page Number and Citation 26 Explanation and Analysis “They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains,” he remarked with a smile. “It’s a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work.” Page Number and Citation 34 Explanation and Analysis “I’m not going to tell you much more of the case, Doctor. You know a conjurer gets no credit once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.”“I shall never do that,” I answered; “you have brought detection as near an exact science as it ever will be brought in this world.”My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.“I’ll tell you one other thing,” he said. Page Number and Citation 38 Explanation and Analysis I shall have him, Doctor — I’ll lay you two to one that I have him. I must thank you for it all. I might not have gone but for you, and so have missed the finest study I ever came across a study in scarlet, eh? Why shouldn’t we use a little art jargon? There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it. Page Number and Citation 42 Explanation and Analysis Oh, bless you, it doesn’t matter in the least. If the man is caught, it will be on account of their exertions; if he escapes, it will be in spite of their exertions. It’s heads I win and tails you lose. Whatever they do, they will have followers. “Un sot trouve toujours un plus sot qui l’admire.” Page Number and Citation 51 Explanation and Analysis “It don’t much matter to you why I hated these men,” he said; “it’s enough that they were guilty of the death of two human beings — a father and a daughter — and that they had, therefore, forfeited their own lives. After the lapse of time that has passed since their crime, it was impossible for me to secure a conviction against them in any court. I knew of their guilt though, and I determined that I should be judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one. You’d have done the same, if you have any manhood in you, if you had been in my place.” Page Number and Citation 113 Explanation and Analysis “…It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well-known Scotland Yard officials, Messrs Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detective line, and who, with such instructors may hope in time to attain some degree of their skill. It is expected that a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services.”“Didn’t I tell you so when we started?” cried Sherlock Holmes, with a laugh. “That’s the result of all our Study in Scarlet; to get them a testimonial!”“Never mind,” I answered; “I have all the facts in my journal, and the public shall know them.” Page Number and Citation 127 Explanation and Analysis Sherlock Holmes Character Timeline in A Study in Scarlet The timeline below shows where the character Sherlock Holmes appears in A Study in Scarlet.

It is the first story to feature the character of Sherlock Holmes, who would later become one of the most famous and iconic literary detective characters, with long-lasting interest and appeal. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to his companion Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet" "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." GENRE Fiction & Literature RELEASED 2018 11 May LANGUAGE EN English LENGTH 90 Pages PUBLISHER AB Books SIZE KB More Books by Arthur Conan Doyle A Study in Scarlet Summary and Analysis of Part I, Chapter I Mr. Sherlock Holmes SummaryThe novel opens with Watson giving a first-person narrative about the contemporary events in his life. He explains that he received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1878 from the University of London but was immediately assigned to wartime duties as Assistant Surgeon and sent to Bombay. He then traveled to Candahar. The campaign was quite unfortunate for him as he was struck by a bullet in the shoulder and had to be dragged back to British lines by his orderly. He then suffered from typhoid he was somewhat healed, his country dispatched him to England to spend some months nourishing his health. He knew no one in London, but the money he had from the government allowed him to live a "comfortless, meaningless existence" in an expensive hotel. His money soon came close to running out and as such he sought a new living day at the Criterion Bar he ran into an old acquaintance named Stamford; Stamford had been a dresser a man who dressed wounds on the battlefield at Barts. Both men were happy to see a familiar face and began chatting amiably. Watson spoke of his various misadventures and his current need for a new residence. Stamford replied that another man at the chemical laboratory where he was working had also told him that very day that he sought a inquired about the details of this man; Stamford explained that Sherlock Holmes was a very strange man and that while he was not actually a medical student and "his studies are very desultory and eccentric" he also had "amassed a lot of out-of-the-way knowledge which would astonish his professors."Watson was pleased to hear that he potential roommate was studious and quiet, and asked Stamford to introduce them. Stamford agreed and the two of them made their way to the hospital. Along the way Stamford spoke more of Holmes; at one point curiously stated that he would bear no responsibility if the living situation did not work out for Watson. The latter was surprised at this statement, and prodded Stamford for more information. For Stamford, Holmes was too scientific and could tend toward cold-bloodedness. He did, however, have a "passion for definite and exact knowledge" and conducted strange experiments. The two men arrived at the laboratory and entered the room where Holmes was working. As soon as Holmes saw the men entered he jumped up with glee and announced that he had found "a re-agent that is precipitated by haemoglobin." Stamford introduced Watson to Holmes, the latter remarking that Watson had clearly been in Afghanistan recently. Holmes explained the discovery he had made, which was an "infallible test for blood stains." He demonstrated how it worked and why it was better than the old tests that existed. He was sure that several criminals who had walked free would have been jailed if this test had been used. After a few moments Stamford brought Holmes’ attention back to the situation at hand, stating that Watson was looking for a roommate. Holmes was pleased and mentioned that he had his eye upon Baker and Holmes discussed their vices and shortcomings with each other; Holmes said that he "[got] in the dumps at times, and [didn’t] open [his] mouth for days on end" and Watson revealed that he was prone to laziness, weak nerves, and ungodly hours for rising. As the conversation was pleasing to both parties, they agreed to meet the following day and visit the available Watson and Stamford left the laboratory, Stamford remarked that he was pleased the two men got along. Watson replied that he enjoyed the mystery of Holmes, and quoted Alexander Pope "The proper study of man is man." Stamford's response was that Watson would find Holmes "a knotty problem, though" and wagered that "he [would learn] more about you than you about him." The two said goodbye and parted begins the first of many Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories. The Holmes stories have captured the literary public's imaginations like few other works of fiction. This novel establishes the relationship between Holmes and Watson, reveals Holmes' unique manner of solving crimes, and sets the precedent for how detective novels should proceed; all of these components would be utilized many times throughout the subsequent decades in Doyle's work as well as others novelists, screenwriters who attempted to give Holmes and Watson new life. A Study in Scarlet is also significant for its depiction of late 19th century British life. Its evocation of the state of politics, criminal science, law enforcement, and science is edifying and useful. In fact, some scholars have made the case that Sherlock Holmes’ methods, as articulated by Doyle, have been influential to the actual development of criminal and forensic science. In an influential article from 1970, author and consulting forensics expert Stanton O. Berg attempts to explain how "the famous sleuth had a decided stimulating influence on the development of modern scientific crime detection." Berg begins by looking at the literature that is already present on the subject. He includes analyses of the work of criminologist Ashton-Wolfe, who writes that Doyle's invented methods are present in contemporary laboratories, particularly the study of tobacco ashes. Other writers point to the study of bloodstains, footprints, and dust, as well as the usage of measuring tape, the hand lens, and the microscope. Berg avers that "perhaps the greatest evidence of the value of the Holmes stories can be found by looking to Holmes contemporaries in the fields of the police and forensic science." A French criminologist credited with being the creator of forensic science named Alphonse Bertillon from the late 19th century publicly gave credit to Holmes; Dr. Edmond Locard, also a French criminologist, credited Holmes with being influential to the development of this science. Locard wrote a scholarly paper on the study of cigar ashes after A Study in Scarlet was published. Berg turns his attention to the "wide spectrum of scientific methods and interests utilized by Holmes in his many cases." These include the famous blood test that Holmes is performing when he and Watson first meet, study of tobacco ashes, interest in dust and dirt particles, science of fingerprinting, study of legal documents, identification of typewriters, techniques of casting, identification of bodies, and use of firearms. Berg's insightful article demonstrates that Doyle's "consulting detective" was not merely a fascinating literary hero but a figure that heralded –and provoked- a new type of criminal first chapter of the novel gives insight to Holmes as a character. As readers, our first impression of Holmes is the same as Watson's first impression of Holmes. He is seen as eccentric, energetic, bright, and excitable. Holmes is pleased with his discovery and self-confident about its significance and putative success and is glibly forthcoming about his own shortcomings. Watson appears to be quiet and amiable, albeit somewhat passive. He is also quite intelligent and perceptive. The two men accept each other's description of their own idiosyncrasies and conclude that living together might work. It is already apparent that they are complementary; Doyle has thus created one of the pleasing and enduring duos in literature.

Pada seri pertama ini lah Sherlock bertemu dengan Dr. Watson. Pada awalnya, Dr. Watson belum mengetahui apa profesi yang digeluti oleh Holmes. Dalam pandangannya Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes sangat eksentrik dan memiliki kemampuan yang unik. Bagaimana tidak, Sherlock Holmes bisa menebak karakter seseorang dan keadaannya hanya dalam satu kali penglihatan saja. Pada 1881, Dr. Watson baru saja kembali dari London setelah bertugas di Perang Anglo – Afghanistan. Pada saat itu dia mencari tempat tinggal, dan kebetulan temannya mengatakan bahwa Sherlock Holmes sedang mencari teman untuk berbagi sewa di flat 221B Baker Street.

Dari situ diketahui bahwa Drebber adalah seorang pemabuk dan berusaha mencium seorang perempuan bernama Alice, sehingga ia diusir dari asrama tersebut.

Kakak laki-laki Alice lah yang dicurigai oleh Inspektur Gregson sebagai salah satu tersangka karena memiliki motif dendam atas hal yang menimpa adiknya. Di lain hari, Sherlock ingin menaiki taksi dan meminta bantuan si supir untuk membawa barang-barangnya ke bagasi.

Namun sayangnya, ketika tiba di hotel Mary diberitahu bahwa ayahnya pergi dan belum kembali ke hotel sejak semalam. Mary pun kebingungan dan menghubungi salah satu teman ayahnya yang bernama Mayor John Sholto. Holmes langsung mengerjakan kasus tersebut dan menemukan fakta bahwa Mayor Sholto sudah meninggal enam tahun lalu. Di saat yang bersamaan,Mary menerima mutiara-mutiara dari pengirim anonimus. Mary pun memberikan petunjuk lain kepada Holmes yaitu sebuah peta yang ditemukan di meja ayahnya. DI peta tersebut bertuliskan nama-nama asing seperti Jonathan Small, Abdullah Khan, Mahomet Singh dan Dost Akbar. Holmes, Watson dan Mary akhirnya memutuskan untuk bertemu anak Mayor Sholto, Thaddeus Sholto. Setelah ditelusuri, ternyata dia adalah pengirim mutiara anonim itu.

Saudaranya Thaddeus, Bartholomew Sholto telah menemukan harta karun tersebut. Mary dan thaddeus akhirnya memutuskan untuk menemuinya. Namun siapa sangka, ternyata Bartholomew ditemukan tak bernyawa dan harta karun tersebut hilang. Setelah diselidiki, Sherlock menyimpulkan bahwa ada dua orang yang terlibat, yaitu Jonathan Small serta anak buahnya. Mereka semua pun mencoba untuk menangkap Jonathan Small. Pada misi penangkapan tersebut, Holmes hampir tertembak dengan panah beracun. Jonathan Small berhasil ditangkap, namun sayangnya harta karun tersebut kosong. Dia pun mengaku bahwa dia telah membuang harta karun tersebut. Jonathan Small benar mengakui bahwa dia mencuri harta karun itu dari Bartholomew. Awalnya ia memang dijanjikan oleh Mayor Sholto harta karun tersebut, namun naasnya ia dibohongi oleh Mayor Sholto. Akhirnya ia memutuskan untuk balas dendam dan merebut harta karun tersebut. Padahal sebelumnya ia tidak mau membunuh Bartholomew, ia hanya ingin merebut harta karun yang seharusnya menjadi miliknya. Akhirnya, Mary pun tidak mendapatkan apa-apa dari kejadian tersebut.

Mereka hanya bisa bersantai pada siang hari dan menjelajahi lingkungan sekitar serta bertemu dengan penduduk di sana. Watson terus berusaha mencari petunjuk tentang siapa orang yang telah mengancam Sir Henry Baskerville. Ia juga tidak lupa selalu mengirimkan laporan kepada Holmes. Ada beberapa penduduk yang sangat menonjol di mata Watson. Ada Jack Stapleton, seorang laki-laki yang sangat ramah dan selalu ingin tahu terhadap semua hal. Selain itu ada juga Beryl Stapleton, perempuan yang sangat cantik dan ia pernah berusaha memberi tahu Watson untuk memperingatkan Sir Henry agar berwaspada dari bahaya. Tanpa diketahui orang-orang, termasuk Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes telah bersembunyi di rawa situ sepanjang waktu dan sudah memecahkan misteri tersebut. Ia memberitahu bahwa anjing itu memang ada, dan ternyata adalah milik keluarga Stapleton. Anjing itu digunakan untuk memikat Sir Charles dan sekaligus menakutinya.

Tidak berselang lama setelah Holmes berhasil memecahkan sandi tersebut, Inspektur MacDonald mendatangi kediaman Homes. Ia memberitahukan bahwa Douglas telah dibunuh. Holmes memberitahu bahwa kejahtan ini ada keterlibatannya dengan Moriart. Namun Inspektur MacDonald tidak mempercayai bahwa orang berpendidikan dan terhormat seperti Moriarty melakukan tindakan keji seperti itu.

Douglas ditemukan sudah terbaring di ruang tengah dengan sebuah senapan gergaji yang terletak di atas dadanya. Dia telah ditembak oleh seseorang dari jarak dekat, kepalanya hancur berkeping-keping. Sersan Wilson, petugas otoritas di daerah sana akhirnya menyelidiki kasus tersebut. Ia menemukan ada noda darah dengan sol sepatu di dekat jendela.

In Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet a popular cultural phenomenon is born. We meet two of the most famous characters in modern literary history the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, an army doctor home on sick leave, for the first time. Through Watson we learn a little about the eccentric figure who is his new room-mate at 221B Baker Street, before they encounter their first case an American visitor to the city has been killed in an empty house off the Brixton Road, and the only clue the police have is the mysterious word 'Rache', scrawled in blood-red letters on the wall. As Holmes sets to work with his unique forensic methods, behind the murder a tangled skein of love, religion, and revenge gradually unwinds, taking us from the streets of London to the Utah Territory, and back again. As Nicholas Daly's Introduction describes, out of this gripping tale grew the Holmes and Watson stories that would make Conan Doyle the best-paid author of his time. His creations have become household words, inspiring not only countless adaptations and imitations, but a Sherlock Holmes museum, Sherlock Holmes-themed pubs, and a whole array of Holmesian merchandise, from cushions to jigsaw puzzles. Here, though, we meet Holmes and Watson before they became famous, and we can see how their extraordinary impact on our popular culture derives from the late-Victorian world from which they emerge.
