Question

Answer the questions to analyse the extract.

Answer

  1. The narrator is Dr Watson because Holmes says 'You see it, Watson,' and the narrator says 'But I saw nothing', so Holmes must be speaking to the narrator.
  2. When Holmes is investigating, he is tense and nervous but also self-controlled and rational. Watson seems to be slower in his reactions. He acts as a contrast to Holmes's energetic personality.
