Bio

"Interestingly, at the end of the story Holmes asks the King for the picture of Irene Adler that she has left behind as his only compensation for his efforts. This suggests that Holmes is deeply intrigued by ”the woman,” the name to which he will always refer to her. “He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position,” Watson states. (Doyle 209) Strangely, it is the mere fact that the villain in this case is a woman that throws Holmes’ incredibly sharp detective skills off. His logical way of thinking is suddenly destroyed by “the woman” and her irresistible feminism." --from Sherlockian.net
