- What does it mean to call Irene Adler “thewoman?” Where do we see Holmes’ ideas of women? Why does he note, “Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting?” How does this position relate to other ideas of women as gossips? Why does Holmes know he will get Adler to show him the location of the picture, assuming he will be able to “win” the contest and overcome her intelligence? What stereotypes of women does his position rest upon, i.e. desire to care for the injured? How does Irene Adler feel about Holmes? See her final note for evidence.
- Compare the film version to the short story of “A Scandal in Bohemia.” What similarities and differences can you identify? Which version did you prefer? What does that say about you as a reader and viewer? If you have seen the 2009 film, compare it to both the earlier film and the short story.
- The Jekyll/Hyde dichotomy is used as a common motif in literature and film. How did your reading of the story compare to your expectations of it?
- What lessons are we to take from the tale of Jekyll and Hyde? Try reading the story as a criticism of society more than a criticism of the individual. Is there an alternative to this dual nature? Does the story offer any suggestions for a more positive, rewarding and happy existence?

Ishita M. Great Job! Thank you so much for your work. You got it done faster than I imagined and everything is perfect. Will definitely be using you again!
Megan J. "As a wife, mother, and full-time student, I was struggling to try to go back to school and take care of my responsibilities. Sometimes you just need a little help, and I appreciate all the help I have gotten from Academic Research Bureau. My papers are on-time and the writers are easy to work with. Thanks for the support!"
Rajab M. Universitywritingservices.com has saved me a lot of time. I was tired of taking the same classes many times over again. As an ESL student, my professors were taking points off of my assignments for my grammar mistakes. It made it very hard to feel encouraged to continue with my studies. Thankful for having found an answer for better grades."
Frank N. As a working student, I just really don't have the time to write paper after paper and complete assignment after assignment. Working full-time and going to school was nearly impossible until I was able to feel comfortable with the writers on this site. They make me feel secure enough to trust them with my papers. While I'm busy with life, they are busy writing my papers. They always do an outstanding job!
Courtney B. Thank you! You were really patient with me and my needs. This was my first time using you guys, however, I will definitely be using you again!

Couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve gotten from my first 2 papers with you, I have 4 papers left to go and I’ll be using your company for them all!
Rebecca T. After I ordered a dissertation from your writing service, the first paper that I was given did not met my professor’s demand. I set the paper on revision and the writer made the revision for free meeting all my requirements and I was very satisfied
Thomas R. I was shocked by how your writers managed to deliver my paper on time, and I was among the best in our class in that paper. Thank you so much and I will never hesitate to use you
