00:00Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes in The Final Problem on 1893 because he felt the
00:07detective overshadowed his other literary ambitions. Doyle wanted to focus on historical
00:13novels, which he considered more serious literature. But Holmes' immense popularity
00:18dominated his career. By staging Holmes' death at the Reichenbach, falls in a final confrontation
00:24with Professor Moriarty. Doyle hoped to free himself from the burden of the character.
00:29However, public outrage was so intense, with fans wearing black mourning bands, that Doyle
00:35eventually revived Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles in later stories, realizing Holmes
00:41was too iconic to abandon.
