character of Sherlock Holmes is based on Joseph Bel, particu
his powers of deduction
One of Conan Doyle's fist jobs was as a doctor on an Arctic
‘whaler, an experience he enjoyed. He then became a doctor on a

magazine, These stories were very succesful, making the author,

that his life was being taken ver by Sherlock Holmes, and in
story called “The Final Problem’ he tried to eliminate Sherlock
Holmes. Inthe story, the character falls to his death in the
