Abstract
The present paper examines the duality of human nature in late-nineteenth century Victorian society by exploring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous character, Sherlock Holmes. The literary doubles of Sherlock and Watson, just as Sherlock and Moriarty, provide us with further insights into the unresolved tensions of Victorian society. These doubles also shed light on the troubles of human nature, the ongoing battle of right and wrong, light and dark, which does not pertain to just one era but remains relevant throughout the centuries.
