wibblywobblytimeywimeyfrances:
can anyone help me with an assignment?
i have to write a speech on a theme in sherlock (and how it is shown)
but i cannot think of a major theme
if it helps my teacher has not seen sherlock so I can probably make stuff up a bit
How about how people fear intelligence? “shown by Anderson and Donovan’s attitude to sherlock’s crime solving and how in blah blah blah they have twisted around the facts so it seems as though sherlock didn’t use his intellect, instead he was a fraud, which made them happy cause he was “normal" blah blah blah…
I might use that! I googled themes in the sherlock holmes canon and apparently extreme intelligence is one of them, so I’ll probably be doing that. people fearing intelligence could tie into that.
thanks for helping me!!
