To Sherlock Holmes she is always The Woman

Read the Sherlock Holmes-story "A Scandal in Bohemia".

Watch the "Sherlock" episode "A Scandal in Belgravia" (BBC 2012) Part 1  Part 2
 
Decide for yourself how the 'relationship' between Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler is different in both stories (apart from the obvious difference in time period!) in both stories.

Then read this commentary article from the Guardian. Do you agree with the author's viewpoint or not?

Write a response to the article (type of text: opinion column or letter to the editor) in which you refer to both the story and the tv-film and in which you explain your opinion of Sherlock Holmes's use of the words "The Woman."

This assignment will be part of your portfolio but will first be discussed in class on Friday 2 March.
