Another aspect that remains very true to the original character is his

complexity of thought. This is present in both the TV series and the film. An example
of this is in the TV series Sherlock, is when Sherlock goes to him mind palace
(Sherlock). Often while he is doing this is he will say or even shout random words or
nonsense that only make sense to him. This is because he is processing the
information. When he thinks out loud he is really breaking down any clues or
evidence to support his case or to figure out what is the answer. This is very true to
character because Sherlock does act irrational especially when it come to his mind
and thinking. The reason Holmes thoughts are considered complex is because he is
far more intelligent than an average person, thus when he thinks something simple
or easy to him is actually extremely difficult to others. With this being said the way
he thinks is more intense and in depth than an average thought. When some this is
that difficult and intense it is considered complex, thus the way in which Holmes
thinks and understands information is complex.


Overall, Sherlocks character may change depending on the situation he is set
in, but he will always be the excessive detective who solves crime. Different
mediums and texts do change the way things are perceived and demonstrated.
Holmes extraordinary deduction skills and process of though has made him and
ionic character and as a result there will always be adaptations of him. Holmes has
been well known for his process of thought and art of deduction, which are essential
qualities of Sherlock Holmes. The film Sherlock Holmes and T.V. series Sherlock are
just two adaptations of his character. Through both of the modern texts we see
different ideas and understandings of the way seeing Holmes deducting and how
they would appear. In the end this is just a couple of the ways his character has been
modified to adapt to a certain convention.
