I have been reading "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" over the break. I think one of themes in this book is betrayal. This theme only appears in one of the stories I've read so far. It's the second or third story in the book.
The betrayal in that story is that a stepfather goes incognito as a man that works in a post office and pretends to fall in love with his stepdaughter and makes her swear to wait for him to return once he goes missing. He only betrayed her because he didn't want her to interact with any other men because he's antisocial and overprotective.
I think it's interesting that the author decided to make the book in the perspective of Sherlock Holmes' sidekick, Watson. It makes it so that you get an up close look at Holmes' entire process of problem solving. It gives you a look at what it's like to be friends with Holmes and hear his amazing deductions explained. This makes the stories a little more realistic because you know what it's like to be on the sidelines.
I like how you analyzed the author's intent of perspective. You did a good job of supplying examples of the theme of betrayal. Nice!
