There are quite a few similar themes that can be detected out between the novels of<\/span> The Hound of the Baskervilles <\/span><\/i>and<\/span> Lady Audley’s Secret<\/span><\/i>. For example, the \u201cbromance\u201d or the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson is undeniable just like in <\/span>Lady Audley’s Secret<\/span><\/i> with Robert Audley and George. \u201cThere is a delightful freshness about you, Watson, which makes it a pleasure to exercise any small powers which I possess at your expense\u201d( Page 28). In this quote, Holmes has predicted where Watson has been for the last three hours. Watson seems to be always surprised on how Holmes always knows exactly where he is. This shows how remarkable Holmes is a detective or simply the close bond he has with Watson. It is quite interesting how Watson takes pleasure in Holmes is sassiness towards him. All friendships have a few unique aspects that make the relationship more special. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Another concept I saw using the lens between\u00a0<\/span>The Hound of the Baskerville\u00a0<\/span><\/i>and\u00a0<\/span>Lady Audley’s Secret <\/span><\/i>is the focus on how much detail is put into the description of the grounds of Baskerville Hall and Audley court. Both these authors could have focused on this topic because it is an essential part of where the mystery unfolds. Both these novels taken place in the Victorian era, they have the similar vibe of being massive in size, yet only a few people live and occupy the space It leads to questions of could there be someone or something lurking in the spaces that aren\u2019t occupied? It is going to be interesting to see in the novel what will be discovered \u201cBeyond, two copses of trees moaned and swung in a rising wind. A half moon broke through the rifts of racing clouds. In its cold light, I saw beyond the trees a broken fringe of rocks and the long, low curve of the melancholy moor\u201d (page 61). This quote gives me the sensation that the hound is sulking around near Baskerville Hall. With all the mysterious sudden deaths and disappearances in both novels, the detectives of these novels are able to shine and show what they are really capable of discovering. Essentially every detail of information plays a huge part in any type of mystery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
