Question

Holmes and watson can be seen as the epitome of the crime-fighting duo. discuss the way in which their personalities and skills complement each other. are there any, and if so, what, characteristics that they are lacking that would be helpful in their roles as detective and sidekick?

Answer 1

Sherlock Holmes is extremely skilled in logic, deduction, and reason. John Watson is skilled in medical knowledge. Watson gives Holmes the insight of a doctor and Holmes is able to solve puzzles better than Watson is. Watson also provides Holmes a person to explain his theories to, which helps Holmes recognize holes in his theories. As far as I can tell, there are no characteristics that they are lacking that would help them in detective work.
